I use catch poles often and do not mess around with them. You should be able to get a catch pole on most animals easily and then be able to control them for safe handling. For dispatch please PM me. I like that tub with the slots in it idea. Rabies shots are not as bad as you think. 7 shots total. Was bitten by coyote 6 years ago then 3 years ago. 2 coyote bites in 31 years is a lot to me. Also had one bobcat grab on to my britches leg. And one bobcat that jumped on a 255/75/17 tire and , claws popped a small hole in side wall. Some may ask = How do you have one come back to life on you? Well when you catch 300 plus a year it just happens. I have to stop about 4 or 5 times a year and RE- KILL a coyote in back of a truck

I have to stop about 4 or 5 times a year and RE- KILL a coyote in back of a truck Its funny I have to do 1 night check a week and normally (after having one come back) I started reaching down and feeling for a heartbeat, I have not had one come back for a longtime but have popped a few that still had a heartbeat but this year I found myself getting a lot more in the hurry on cold nights my wake up call came to one latching on to my pant leg that was over my shoulder she was pretty out of it still and didn't have much grip but I'm back to waiting for the heart to stop beating to keep mine from racing.
