My roommate and I were talking about trapping the other day. I was telling him that I'd like to trap the coons that dumpster dive at our apartment complex. Right behind the dumpster is a decent thicket of trees and brush that I could set the traps in. They're rather nice looking coons, large too.
My roommate then reminisced about how his granddad and he used to kill the animals they trapped. They drowned them by sticking the whole cage into the river next to their house. I was shocked. I had never heard such a thing and am not sure if this is acceptable hunter practice.
The reason he brought that up is because we cannot shoot them here, city limits, and we do have a nice creek that runs next to the complex. I need to get my air gun from my mother's place.
I am sure the apartment complex folks will give me permission. We're on personal/friendly terms and the coons spread the trash everywhere. Win/Win.
Since I've got permission to hunt on a huge slot of land elsewhere, I'd like to do some trapping there as well. Where would I go online to look for some affordable traps for small game: Coons, rabbit, bobcat, fox?
