Good bodygrip traps run about $30 but like Colorado mentioned snares are cheap. You can get good swivel snares for about $15 a dozen and if placed right are just as effective. Dakota line is the brand of snares i use just make sure you get swiveled ones.

Snares have a learning curve and it sounds like you don't have time to waste learning the tricks to setting snares. If they have never been trapped before they can be incredibly easy to catch in a conibear trap. You should catch a couple/few pretty quick. I'll look in the shed and see how many I got. If you want to try and promise to bring them back I'll show you how to set them and let you borrow them. I live just west of baton rouge. If you want to buy some look for duke # 330 conibear traps. Good traps around 15 to 20 dollars each depending on how many you buy. Dieseltiger1 if your land is near pointe coupee parish I'll work out a deal with you to help you trap them for a hunt.

Thanks a ton Hank but if I borrowed yours I'd prolly catch a squatch's leg and lose them. If I can't find someone local interested in trapping the place then I'll get me a couple two or three and hit 'em hard next year when I start deer hunting.

didn't watch fwiw. Setting conibears is very easy. Union parish is a bit far from DeSoto so I cant help you. sorry. Anyhow, trapping can be very satisfying as a sport and have great positives on your land.

Thank you to all y'all that responded to my post. I guess I'll have to roll up my sleeves and try trapping them. I used to trap as a teenager but then fur coats went out of fashion and the fur prices dropped. I was hoping to find an easier solution or one that would continue working while I was back at home since sometimes I go two or three weeks between trips.
