I`ve had quite a few coyotes beat to death with wrenches and ball bats and Icame up on the killer just as he was doing it. their excuse was always, " so he didn`t get away". the only thing that would have got away is my coyote ... when the bums took him if I hadn`t got there. one time had a guy farming the land next door drive a 8 wheel tractor off his land and onto my land to run over and completely squash a live coyote and the trap. I made him pay me $100 for the coyote and $25 for the trap. had a couple otyhers shot by bow hunters, and off course some with deer slugs. when a guy is live trapping it just ruins your day. I`d think those oregon nuts would be charged with manslaughter, or at least wrongful death lawsuit for everything they are worth. you think if they saw a coyote in my trap they would have killed it? duh.....

forgot the best one. a farmer was bush hogging the fence rows and bush hogged a live red fox in a trap. no way he didn`t do that on purpose. not just the fox but bush hogged a squeeker too.both were in about the same shape...a million pieces. I bet the fox made a heck of a blop blop noise going around under the bush hog.

You would think they would be charged with murder.

Drove back a lane one day live trapping and here come two rabbit hunters with beagles up the grade. "OH NO" thinks me....I bet they shotgunned the fox (good spot...knew there'd be one there waiting). We spoke...they said they were leaving and that "There was 2 fox at the bottom of the hill and that they didn't want to hunt where someone was trapping. Now, I had dbl. set there and caught my first red fox dbl. I asked...just knowing what the answer would be....."Uh..did you kill the foxes ? "
No, we left them, we're going to so and so's place.
I thanked them copiously, explaining what 99% of rabbit hunters would have done.
**Fast forward 20 yrs. later...last yr. I trapped beaver for a power generating station here on the Ohio River. The head honcho that called me in told me he was the guy rabbit hunting yrs. ago and that we'd met before. I thought the name was familiar, but didn't recognize the face at all.
I said "OH...you're the honest rabbit hunter."
The beaver were in a tiny retention pond of about 1/2 acre. They had plugged the drain pipe about 25' underground. Their bill from me was $1,100 for 3 beaver, a muskrat and my service. Their bill to themselves to either dig up or blow out the pipe was going to be over $10k the manager estimated.
Now, the beaver that Dobbins used to catch in TN. for the pulp companies at $25 ea....let's see..he'd have had to catch 44 to make that much and work his a$$ off. I was on and off site ea. day in under and hour...and 20 min. of that ea. day was checking in at the office, getting a safety briefing, putting on waders, hard hat, answering 100 questions of the workers etc. etc. I digress...something about live fox and a rabbit hunter.
