A catch pole can be used to capture cubs-of-the-year that are under 16 kg (35 lbs). Be sure that the pole cable ensnares at least one shoulder of the cub along with the neck; or the whole body. Don't ensnare the neck alone. Cubs are often stronger than anticipated. It may be quite difficult to use a catch pole to remove a cub from a tree, unless you use a jab stick to "lightly" tranquilize them first (using Ketamine alone; no Rompun).
