A risk I did NOT think of – heads up… Traps.

Good suggestion NWTom. I had a roommate in college who was a trapper, and he took me out on his trap line many times, so I became familiar with the hardware involved. I made an attempt at trapping myself, but after catching a rabbit, a bluejay, a great-horned owl, and the neighbor’s cat, I gave up my trapping career. BTW, the cat and the owl both survived and had no serious injuries.

Kinda like the Bears. They think they are football players, but they really don’t know what they are doing.

😯 😯 If anyone comes looking for me… Tell them that I’ll be in the fallout shelter for the next day or so… 🙄 🙄
O.K. Time to take it to Off Topic…

Well, we’ll just see about that on Sunday when I’ll be 😆 and you Packer fans will be 😥 in your beer.

We had the same experience with our Cocker Spanial Madison many years ago while hiking in the Yellow River State Forest in Iowa. This trap was just off the hiking trail a few feet, and I don’t recall any water nearby…can’t remember for sure. Madison let out a cry that I’ll never forget, but she also only had bruises after being let out of the trap.

This is something to be concerned about and aware of, but also kept in prespective.

I’ve been fortunate to never encounter this while out bird hunting or just hiking with one of my dogs. Some friends, different story, ticks are another matter, boy I hate those buggers!
