Thought we had a fox in our live trap. What happens next is amazing! 

I wish I saw this before I watched it, in a way, but I didn't mind the full clip at all. Everything seemed ideal for me, as far as there being a husband and wife, and the wife is filming it. It was an amazing moment and I'm glad they caught the whole situation, sticks and all. Their lives could've changed, their whole family's lives could've changed in an instant. It trips me out more to see a loved one recording vs a hiker doing a self shot encounter.

Thanks, man! :)

HardWired417 thanks

HardWired417 XD

HardWired417 haha

It's clickbait - pure and simple. "What happens next is amazing"! No, it wasn't. What happened was perfectly ordinary and just what you would expect.

It takes balls to do what this guy did, so respect points. I have no respect for people who would do otherwise though, even if i can understand why they would. If you trap and animal you have no right to kill it needlessly just because you're anxious about what it might do as you try to free it. Obviously it's best to prevent this kind of thing from happening.

Hero✩Lydragius Again though, respect points for this guy. He was probably scared too, but courage is acting despite fear, not being fearless.

Hero✩Lydragius im not an expert but couldn't he just light a fire infront of the cage with a lighter if he has one and leave the cage open, and when the fire goes out the lion could just walk out? you are risking it all catching fire in a massive blaze but im pretty sure if the fire got that bad it would just end up jumping through the fire anyway. if not then you got some bbq meat atleast

BEEFCAKE!!! ...What exactly is a fire supposed to do? It would either cause a forest fire, be too small to do anything, scare the animal and possibly make it more aggressive or, in any case, not help in any obvious way.

Hero✩Lydragius well my thinking was if you got a decent size fire it might deter the big ass cat for maybe 20 seconds, enough time for you to get in your car

+Rebecca Glass I think finding a way to hold it open without standing there may have been the hard part.

He's trying to open it without getting eaten afterwards

Suzanne La Force ikr

+diane9247 Lol so many people are like "Omg thats so bad why do you have a trap anyway???" And they're more worried about the animals life, something that cant even talk, over the humans life.

Im glad you care for both ^u^

+Amy p Well, Amy, many days I care more about the animals. Just sayin' ; o

+Amy p I'd be worried for the human if he was trapped by the lion but the human created this confrontation so nope not worried for him cause he's inhuman

+Amy p animals can and do talk, just because you can't understand their language doesn't mean they don't have one.

+Tania Martinez No it had not been there for hours. My husband is extremely responsible and loves animals, even though he does hunt and fish. We would never torment something by leaving it in a cage. People don't understand life skills and education these days. You'd all rather cry and whine and go to your "safe space".

Live trapping a mountain lion is unusually rare I would think.Putting it an amazing category in and of itself.

You tell 'em hahaha

Jet Stream In Florida they are called Panthers.

bis225 No matter what you call it.A 100-200 pound cat is nothing you want to tangle with when riled.

Is this Easton? :) Your coach is a little crazy like that isn't he? Lol! Great game the other night! This is Coach's wife talking to ya :) Keep up the good work on the team, it's been a great season so far!

Hey sorry Winston!! You guys are all doing great out there! Glad you told me who you were :) I hope you guys are having a good weekend! Dan is out duck hunting with the boys right now :)

Justin Casey HI!!! :D

West East 😒

West East side

Ralph Dratman Read the commentary up top to explain the trap please :)

Justin Casey Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

Ralph Dratman IKR

Ralph Dratman You're supposed to go read the commentary, then come back and explain the trap to all of us. And hopefully somewhere in your explanation you'll cover the reason the door had to be opened in such a dangerous fashion. ...'cause we're all still wondering about that. Now, Ralph, for the sake of everyone's education, we kindly ask you again: _Read the commentary up top to explain the trap please :)_

Ralph Dratman What commentary?

Fridgemusa BALLS OF TUNGSTEN

Jodice Edwards Right back at you, beautiful animal right?

+KaedinKane Gotta make that dollar thirty nine though.

+NYer FaLife Now that's funny!!

I heard diff. I thought I heard her say... "I just farted....can anybody smell it?"

+trxxxtr lol that was funny!!!!!!!!!

XD WINDY WIND XD lol....glad I could put a smile on your face..

+Carl Stallins You should test drive a new F150, just count how many you see on the road.

Monica Listodos Yes we would have let anything go :)

Justin Casey Thank you! but i still don't understand why capture it in the first place...? if i captured a fox i would try to tame it for a pet, since i love them so much lol.

Monica Listodos My husband grew up trapping for fur etc... He has always been a hunter and an outdoorsman. I on the other hand, am a "lover not a fighter"..lol! So he still hunts, but no longer traps using traditional (painful and inhumane) methods. So this was a great compromise between he and myself to allow our boys the experience of trapping something (without mutilating its limbs) and then releasing the animal. They get to see the animal up close, my husband teaches them about what he knows about the animal and then bon voyage, away they go. People have said that this causes the animal an undo amount of stress, but animals as well as humans experience stress of all kinds on a daily basis...and somehow we all make it out alive and emotionally ok. I would rather have my kids see animals that are briefly held in a trap and released as opposed to living their life forever in captive at a zoo. Just food for thought :)

Justin Casey Thank you so much for your explanation. I feel a lot better now! God bless, and keep those wonderful animals safe and free! Thank you again! cheers!

Monica Listodos There is nothing wrong with trapping and hunting for fur and food.

Katherine Uribe Yes she was stunning!

Jeff Blythe God bless America? Why put that in..lol that's funny

Jeff Blythe Until one of those creatures eats your ass. Its like trying to say that sharks are "beautiful". On TV they are but at some point you go to make a real world decision based on what happens with nature and people. Maybe the answer is too many Californians and just let the mountain lions weed them out!

Jeff Blythe A healthy population must be maintained. These predators do kill people.

02Crimson If you want those mountain lions to weed out Californians, you are going to need a lot more of them. There are 38 million people in the state. Maybe only half that many big cats will be needed. But when the culling is over, you will have millions of hungry animals and no more meat to keep them happy. Then what?

Josef Dickens Absolutely!

john harris Thanks for the comment. Beautiful animals aren't they?

Ann Rene' Thank you for the positive feedback!

NP!

Getting the lion was unintentional, it was meant for fox.

Link Knight "Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?" ~ Indiana Jones lol

Sabine Buchanan Good strong Scottish surname, you've got there. Clarior Hinc Honos.

Omg yea! But here in usa, they are mountain lions. They dont usually go east. Especially because we have ALOT of animal control. We get fox, coyote, deer, geese, and birds! That's it! Although, I've barely seen any geese around here for the past few years. Lol i bet that's why the amount of foxes and coyote are so high! Those pack hunting carnivores are scarfen um down! XD

Link Knight Mountain Lions are not really dangerous! They keep away from people at all costs, most all of the time.

oh, and well done for releasing it regardless, a lot of people wouldn't.

minchy79 Can't see them with binoculars. They are very elusive animals and again, it wasn't our intent to trap a lion :)

+Garion Porter That trap is very rarely used. And the trap is checked MULTIPLE times...thats another reason that its so big...for "comfort". Thank you for watching the video :)

World needs more pussies, and less of ...(gestures towards you) -that.

That cat wasn't caught deliberately. She was a surprise.

Michael B lol ya break the law because its your land its ok?? Uh yeah ok then :D

Michael B Someone has to save the wildlife before you idiots wipe everything out to extinction. Did you think that the seas had limitless fish? Do you think the forests are endless? The frontiers are all gone and we are eating and destroying too fast. I hate trappers/hunters just as much as agri-animal farmers. All bad and no longer needed. AND just causing harm. But hey-eat whatever do whatever AMERICA do what you want no one can stop you collect yer guns (2nd ammendment blah blah blah). You ride that train all the way till the end and just see where it goes. No thank you. (that guy wasn't even trapping animals for legal purposes)

Mightiflier Thank you for the positive feedback!

It's one of those traps that when the door snaps shut, there is a small metal ring on each side that slides down and holds the door closed. He had to use sticks to slide the rings up and hold them in place. (they kept breaking) Has to be the dumbest trap design ever.

+Franmom Momm Because its better than hunting them down, plus i mean, its a fox trap. I dont think anyone would ever want to kill a fox unless they had to.

Pericles of Athens LOL...I'm not black

+Franmom Momm Thta's the real question isn't it? This is what white ignorance looks like.

+Franmom Momm usually people will create live traps so that they can see an animal up close. I have done it many times and it is a wonderful experience. I have caught lions, foxes, deer, and even a wolf.

+Pericles of Athens change your moniker you're no Pericles you insult my heritage

+Pillip Wright Wright ...the dude did'nt get jacked up hahaah

+MrBubbahunt9 DAMMIT i thought u said did so i kept watching wasted minutes of my life UGHHHHHHHHHHH

+Tom Salty that's why you need to become literate.

PwntsRocksU So you are telling me you have never ever made a reading mistake where you quickly read something and you are telling me you have never ever made that mistake hmmmm

Tom Salty Tom Salty you really are salty!

iwantarackinghorse Thanks man, thats good to know!!

Infernalicon Read the top to understand the trap mechanism please :)

Justin Casey im just saying that reopening it put the man into serious danger

***** lolol read the top there is no trap mechanism displayed in the " top " to "understand" the mechanism.

***** Sorry. Somewhere buried in the comments I explained that the trap is designed to be rolled twice so that the rings on the sides of the door fall down and the door then falls open. This was not an option because the trap was frozen to the ground. Plus we didn't want to frighten the animal any further. The trap is easy to open if its a small animal that is in there because you can easily slide the rings up and let the animal out. We never roll the trap anyway. Thank you for your interest on the video. The animal is so beautiful.

Sarah Neko that animal is a hunter LOL. Let's see what do they eat: raccoons. coyotes, rabbit, pets, livestock, deer, elk, and occasionally a human child or a tired joggers.

So what? This has nothing to do with what I have just said.

danielscissorhands Thanks, beautiful animals aren't they?

Justin Casey Yeah. :)

It's not meant for a mountain lion, that is why he released it...

0prahTV Yep it sure could have been. Still seems to be getting viewed though. Maybe people are fast forwarding it? ;)

Justin Casey already explained that the trap was designed so that you'd have to roll it twice to get to all of the locks on the door, plus the cage was frozen to the ground, so even if he did decide to risk pissing/scaring the mountain lion even more by rolling it around, he couldn't move it. That, and it was a fox trap, so they were utterly unprepared to find a mountain lion inside the trap. Besides, she looked pretty healthy for a wild animal, so I doubt she would've gone after him out of any sort of desperation, so long as he didn't block her path to freedom (which he wisely didn't). My only critique is that it might have been a good idea for him to softly talk to the lion so she wouldn't mistakenly think he was trying to ambush her (the reason I think she hissed and swiped anytime his hands suddenly came into view when she otherwise couldn't see him), but again it's only a critique, and a fairly mild (if not irrelevant) one at that. All in all, I think he handled the situation pretty well given the circumstances.

Patrick Dupont Even though a mountain lion is a dangerous animal, and you should take precautions, it probably would not have attacked him. As the other person said, it's not like it was starving and desperate for food, so it probably wouldn't have wanted to eat him. Not only that, but people that deal with wild animals generally carry guns with them, so if it did indeed decide to attack him, he would be able to defend himself. And lastly, if an animal is trapped, the thing that it wants most to do is flee, and so it did.

KarlAndArma4ever heh yeah personally, i would've called animal control to come out and tranq it. then we could pull it out of the trap and wait for it to wake up and leave.

fatxgoats I am sure you are absolutely right but the key word is "probably."

Patrick Dupont It doesn't matter if God decides to protect him... With Jesus Christ's intervention no animals hurt him / her. Come to Jesus Christ today!
