February 23, 2015 Oregon Trapping

While spending some time in Oregon we decided to spring for a fur harvesters license and put out a few bobcat sets.  This lion was what you call a "non target" catch and must be released. Things were a little interesting but eventually the lion ran off. For those of you unfamiliar with trapping.  The traps are not meant to injure, only hold an animal. This lion happened to be held by a back toe, but at the start of the video we are removing a makeshift safety restraint from the neck and the toe has already been freed. Its just still a little wrapped up.
