I Started Carrying Mace/Pepper Spray With Me While Hunting

[Limitool]

Only been on one wild boar hunt and must say it ranks in my top 5 of enjoyable hunts. Had the meat done by the local butcher where I was and along with Dall Sheep this wild boar for my taste buds are among the best. I had a full body taxidermy mount done.

Good job sir.... I envy you. I've had all kinds of wild meat but never a wild boar.

The only good thing that came from wild hogs, back when I was young I could go about anyplace in SWOK, no problem, and hunt arrowheads. As the years went by, more places became off limits and farmers didn't really want anybody on the property. The hog problem became worse when my son came along and found if you asked to go in and hunt arrowheads, it might be no, but if you asked to come in and hunt wild hogs, well sure boys! Him and his buddies would load up their AK's, shoot hogs, and in the meantime look for arrowheads.

While this won't work on the animals, this will on the 2 legged ones.

Here in Texas most cops are happy people carry guns. They know it makes their job easier in the long run and everyone is safer.

Well if you pull any firearm/weapon on an officer it's your fault whatever happens next.

Leg hold traps need to be banned forever. They cripple anything that steps into them. Cats, dogs, a fawn and so on. If I ever found my cat or dog in a leg hold trap, that trapper would never set a trap in my area again...

Tim, a deer will pull it's foot right out of a "foot hold" trap. They're designed that way.

The only way your dog or cat could be caught in a foot hold trap is if it was out wandering where it had no business being in the first place. Only an idiot would set one where a pet could access it.

Have you ever read the trapping reg's for your state?

Leg hold or Foot hold traps are not legal for use in Rhode Island.

I wrote a post (above) that is the true facts. I don't trap any more so I'm not waving some banner about them, and whether you believe it or not at least someone told you the truth and not a bunch of propaganda.

FWIW, your ancestors, my ancestors and everybody's ancestors used traps of various types in order to gather food. If they hadn't, none of us would be here today.

I do understand your feelings about it all, however. I quit trapping 30 years back,
and now I just make friends with critters.

I didn't say "pull it on an officer" I said not to flash it near a cop.
Many places where open carry is not legal if a cop see a gun you get their attention real quick and they will pull theirs on you and any wrong or quick move on your part will get you shot.
