#2 padded footholds

[JakeLand]

A qick question for you is it by permit only to use padded footholds and what are the stipulations ? IMO a conibear is the most humane trap out there for most furebearers

1/8 is the right answer.Permit only

The permit is for use only on Private land and for animals causing problems. The fur cannot be sold raw, Needs to be tanned before being sold, so not normally into fur trade but into the novelty trade. Permit is good for 30 days and a report on animals taken needs to be filled out at end of that 30 days.

The special permit allows you to use padded foot holds, conibears set underwater or footsnares. Must be a nuisance animal where other means have been unsuccesfull on private property or for public health and safety  to protect threatened or endangered species or for research.

have you checked on your prior permits to see if it was on there?  On the permits i have looked at it only had 9 permit conditions until 2/22/2014 where they added #3." Padded Foot-hold traps are designed to have both jaws covered in RUBBER having a minimum thickness of one eighth inch. Now they have 10 conditions.

Well there you go, they snuck it in on us in the middle of a three year rules setup. Although I don't know if  Damage control permits would fall under the game regs.
