Winter tracking skills... (photo heavy)

No worries with me thinking you are starting trouble. Most people get very inquisitive when they find out I am a trapper in my free time. I trap coyotes, beavers, muskrats, and raccoons for some ranchers when they are having problems and get a few cats as well. If I am not going to use the animal it gets released after some photos.
how the hell do you release a bobcat that is caught in a trap. I would think it would be pissed being thats it was trapped and it would be hard to release. I was just wondering thats all.
 
I have a big piece of plywood that has a notch cut out of it in the bottom. I will put that over the cats leg with the trap and paw on my side and the plywood between us. I open up the trap and 99% of the time they runoff. The other 1% of the timethey try to go around the plywood and get you.:D

Thanks again everyone!

JV3, Yup, but you need to be able to find the remote pockets of NJ to find anything good. :)
