Just curious, how would you go about releasing a snarling coyote or wolverine as the article mentioned?
“Releasing non-target animals
Non-target animals should be released from the trap. If the animal is small enough, cover it with a wash tub or heavy blanket, pull the trap out and release the animal. A catch pole with a sliding loop that is placed over the animal’s head also works well.
Another method of releasing larger animals is to lay just enough brush, limbs or poles over the animal to pin it down so it can’t reach the person releasing it. When done with just enough pressure to pin down the animal but not to injure it, this method is the safest and least stressful on the animal and the trapper.”

I myself would never release a coyote, the only good yote is a dead one.
