[QUOTE="KDM, post: 118912, member: 314"] Most of those video clips are put there by the anti hunting community and are geared to produce the maximum amount of fear. It appears they are having the desired effect. Dealing with these devices really isn't that difficult. First, familiarize yourself with the rules, regs, and laws concerning trapping. These will explain dates, locations, trap/snares types that can be used, which I hope will lessen your concerns to an extent. That being said, carrying equipment and having the knowledge to deal with a body grip trap and/or a snare is a good idea as the possibilities for an encounter do exist. I carry a cable cutter for snares and I can open a 220 body grip with my hands. I hunt extensively for pheasants and other upland game and I have not encountered a single trap or snare. Most trappers are EXTREMELY cognizant of domestic pets, but there are those that are less than stellar in this area. Most are the govt. trappers that carpet bomb an area in the winter with snares and then forget where they all are. Not even close to kidding on this. I, and several other trappers on here, would be more than happy to talk it over with you and help you understand the realities of this. Please PM me with any questions you have and I'll do my best to help out. [/QUOTE]
