Dispatching Trapped Predators
Filed under: Ask Grant, Predators
Hi Dr. Grant, I just watched your latest video on trapping (GDTV #63). What method do you use to dispatch the animals you trap? I have really learned a lot from your videos. Thanks for all the good information. Tom Question
Tom,
I use a .22 caliber rifle or pistol and administer a single shot to the head. This provides a quick and humane result.
I always consider what’s behind the target, and unload the .22 before continuing with my activities.
Growing Deer together,
Grant
