My dad caught 4 possums last night... For what ever reason, on nights it rains he always nails the possums.
My dad catches over 2 dozen dogs a year trapping. In most parts of VA you can legally use dogs to hunt deer. At the end of the season, many guys don't even bother to pick up many of their deer hounds. So, by the end of January, there are usually several packs of half feral dogs running around. They're skinny, mangy and a mess. It's a real shame... That is mostly what he catches. He will also catch pets that are just left to run too. When he releases the dogs, they usually run off with a minor limp if that. He had a beagle this year jump up on his ATV and stare at him after he released it from his trap. Too funny! People think foot hold traps are just so terrible. They really aren't, it's just a lack of knowledge about the sport.
