Lots of videos on how to use live traps to catch critters, but not many on how to release them, so this video will cover that topic.

    Just the video I was looking for... Thanks!

    This was a huge help. Your cord trick to open the door worked like a charm.

    I wish I watched this video before I had a pissed off squirrel in my trap!
  • Great release method, Mr Eckard. Thank you for sharing. I've used a spray version of rubberized dip on my trap to minimize damage to the animal's forearms, something Havaheart could be doing. Keep managing your land and have a blessed day.

    I just caught a troublesome squirrel and knew some kind soul would tell me how to safely get him out without getting myself bitten! Thank you so much! I like your release area! I will do the same type of area for this guy!

    Thanks for the video. You're right, very few videos on how to release them.
  • They do scoot when they realize the door is open! The ones I've done in the last couple of days didn't even look back or say thanks! LOL I find putting a blanket over the cage when you transport or even when you carry it, makes the critter a little more at ease. No need for extra trauma. I like the welding glove; extra protection up the arm a ways.

    That's fine with junior, but when 40-Lb grandpa is in your trap and really PO'd, he's not going to be so meek and timid.

    Had a very large one who was very agitated, opened the door, it went about 5' stopped and turned around to look at me. I was prepared with some wasp spray, one shot and he decided to head in the other direction. Caught this one when the trap was set for a groundhog. Do not like dealing with them since large ones can really tear into a trap and they can carry parasites that are transmittable. Big ones can be very unpredictable.

    great idea with the string. Thanks!
  • I just did this. My trap is a little different. I used a spring clamp to keep the door open. This guy would not leave for about 10 minutes so the clamp allowed me to walk away. How about a video on releasing a skunk! That’s when I call the pros! 😊

    Poor Coon😢, dumped in a strange area, no shelter, food or family.I hope he survived.
  • @2sylvan
    Great video can you believe how stupid the people that designed this trap were. Unbelievable!
  • The one in my cage is highly pissed off! I’m waiting for a professional!
