I often considered getting a humaine trap, but I see no end in site. The idea is great, untill you really think about it. In some small way I think he trusts me a little bit. To set a trap would mean he would go into the hands of vets and laws and a lot of red tape that wouldnt follow logic. Basically, I am afraid to capture him would mean one of a few things one, the vet would hand me a bill, being as young as I am (15) I cannot afford this even if I wanted to and he would be held untill I did. Two, they would kill him once they noticed that he has been in the woods for about 3 years. 3, the best possible outcome- someone else adopts him. In this sense, its hard not to be selfish and want him as my own. But, if I knew a loving, caring, and knowledgeable family took him. Or it could be my worst fear of all and he would go back to being beaten and abused.

Winter here has already reached as low as -41 degree Celcius.
