Yeti: killing is killing, no matter if it's red fox or a bat or even a mosquito.. Trapping is recognized by nearly all state DNRs and wildlife agencys as the best and most efficient way to maintain a healthy wildlife population.. If not practiced in a professional manner, it can be more cruel than necessary. In trapping the canines, it is less likely to cause the animal unnecessary pain, than in water trapping or racoon trapping.. It isn't for everyone, but I would probably have a problem looking thru a scope and sending a bullet toward an elk or pronghorn..MDC
