Snaring Steelies

Think they are snaring Steelies with these things second package I picked up this week.

Dont ya just love guys who leave there F'in trash everywhere and make us all look bad....

How about turtles?

crawdads?

Thanks for cleaning up after the a-holes,

I'd pass that info on to the local DFG office.  Don't know what they can do, if anything, but at least you're trying.

If you are correct, it is despicable.  Not to mention leaving the trash/evidence.

Hi Mike - Just guessing on the turtles, I was thinking of the trap being baited and the turtles swimming down and crawling on and biting the trap so that it's legs could get noosed, especially if someone then jerked on the trap and reeled 'em in for the turtle soup pot.  Total guess.  However, these types of noose - bait box traps are commonly and effectively used for trapping raptors, called Bal Chatris, date back to the ancient days of Arab falconry.  Birds come down and jump on the box to get at the bait and their legs get snagged on the slip nooses.

Not 100% sure on the bird wing but I think it is from a male northern pintail based on red-greenish-black-white pattern in the speculum/secondary wing feathers and the gray/black scapulars lying under the wing.  Maybe one of the duck hunters can confirm.

Steel soon?  Raining there yet?

So.....duck wing blasted off duck by duck hunter? They were out in force on their camo boats on Saturday. I had buckshot rain down right in front of my yak. Was time to move on at that point.
