[QUOTE="Capt. D, post: 1325448, member: 10225"] There are some ranches that will let you shoot unlimited numbers during your stay and I have no qualms with that, any that get harvested is a good thing; however hunting the same properties that are being trapped makes trapping entire sounders difficult at best. In order to catch large numbers these animals need to have a safe zone so to speak. These animals are not stupid and become very wary with hunting pressure. Hunting at night with thermal gear makes you wonder though. LOL. The land owners that I was referring to was those that charge to hunt, limit the number of animals that are harvested and still file their claims and complain about the devastation they cause but maintain a population to hunt. That happens all too often, more than most know. Its only been the last few years that some ranches have offered unlimited numbers and I applaud them for that but more need to get into the game. When I trap a property I do try to get the property owners to stop shooting them for a period of time, usually when I start feeding them prior to setting up the trap enclosure until the trap is set. This has taken as little as 4 days to as much as three weeks, its just a matter of getting them comfortable enough for all to enter the enclosure. I realize that many are killed using NV or Thermal gear and I really do enjoy taking that way as well but I am of the opinion that if these animals were given a rest period from hunting, fed, and trapped that higher numbers could be removed Regards Dallas [/QUOTE]
