Trapping season continues across Montana. So far, since the 12/15/12 season open, trappers have harvested 30 wolves in Montana. Also, bobcat and otter trapping season remains open in regions 4,5,6 and 7. In today’s featured video, a man obviously unintended to trap a bobcat and did his best to release the ornery critter, using nothing but a stick.
The action was so intense that there is some foul language used.
