Dog “Sugar” killed in Conibear, Tetonia, Idaho
"Our neighbor who teaches hunting safety went back with us to recover Sugar’s body. Together these two big men could not free her so we had to cut the red nylon rope tie-down and carried her body to his garage where he had to use two vises to finally remove the trap." -

Dog barely escaped snare incident, Vedauwoo, Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest, WY
Until I became a member of this group, I never knew that traps and snares were set in area we traverse all the time. Tonight we came across a series of snares about 20 yards off of Road 701E. On top of everything else I carry in winter months, I now plan on packing a "trap defense" tool kit as well. What a shame it is I have to worry about me or my dog being snared on public land... -
