Trapping

[Rush2112]

the good thing about the box type trap is it does no harm to the animal. I have caught some cats, just opened the door and released unharmed. One reason i had the trap set was trying to catch multiple racoons that had taken up residence INSIDE the structure of our residence. They cause a lot of damage and stay up all night fighting. I released the animals in a wilderness area. Currently I have trap set to catch whatever has been munching on the garden at night. yesterday there were 2 birds caught. released unharmed.
PSHTF trapping some believe may be more efficient than hunting. One could have dozens or more of traps set within a very small radius (birds,fish,mammals). These traps are working 24/7 even when the owner is hunting.They arent mutually exclusive. Hunting normally requires covering more distance and thus burning more calories, maybe more calories than the food gained. Trapping can also be used for larger animals such as deer, wolves,etc.
Personally I like to have multiple options for procuring food available PSHTF, the more the better. to each his/her own
