A man came into our store wanting to buy 2 or 3 .22LR bullets because he had trapped her by his house and needed to shoot her. He said he is expecting a litter of pretty expensive pups soon and didn't want to risk losing any. We asked if we could relocate her and he said only if you come get it!

It was pretty neat seeing one so close still alive.

Good for you. That's a good deed. Seems like a pity just to shoot such a noble beast in a cage like that. 

Not judging mind you. Just thinking.

I once petted a cougar. She purred when I petted her.

We trapped / released several bobcats while I was at the Mouse House. They tend to get real pizzed off in a trap. Beautiful critters though.

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.

It is the same when you are stupid.

Tough call.
How much does she weigh?

Negative Mark, always with Hav-a-hart type traps. Even our gator traps were giant box traps where we could relocate and release the gators in designated canals. We weren't allowed to kill anything (except poisonous snakes). Even then, we had to bag them and take to non-guest areas to dispatch. Only Management was allowed to carry machetes for that purpose.

What did poisonous snakes ever do to you Ric? I know that you guys actually have several there, the highest population in country.

Hayden watches Animal Planet and NatGeo and they are always in Miami Dade handling exotic snakes.

When I lived in Alabama, I had a buddy try and slap a cottonmouth with his fishing pole to get him away from the boat.Loco The snake wrapped up around his fishing pole and started crawling towards his hands. Luckily, my dad slapped the pole into the water and it didn't end up in the boat with us!
