Chris, Rill is fine. A little blood from her mouth (trying to chew). When I got to her, I thought she was dead, but I think she had just calmed as animals will do in a trap. It was very scary. but she wanted to hunt after we got her out. Elaine and I were traumatized and headed to the truck.
We called the Conservation Agent. We flagged the remains of the set, sent him marked pins from OnX along with map photos. He promised to call us with reports of any progress. Our agents are pretty good folks. Besides being angry about the trap, it also makes me furious that I can't hunt this ground that has birds.
