A relatively new member posted this in the dang coons thread:

I caught a coon and a possum that was tearing up my garden in one of those big havahart traps this past week, then the third night the trap went missing... my game camera caught a picture of a med size wild dog that was looking down at the trap from atop a 2ft high wall that night... presumably at what ever was caught in the trap. I found the trap over 100 yards down the hill on the shoreline... the trap trip mechanism was mangled like a pretzel and 50 yards up the hill... the handle was also mangled and repositioned on the top plus the outside of both doors was covered with blood and hair... but no critters... whatever it was had to be pretty strong to drag the trap 100 yards thru briars & timber and then mangle the heavy trip wires and handles... gander mountain replaced the trap... Could the dogs have done all that?

I don't know where you live, but a wolvering can tear up a lot of stuff[:)] 0 -
If it was not staked down even a poodle could drag off a have-a-heart trap.

I've had a big boar coon get out of a have-a-heart and mangle it up some. 0
