So to my understanding, it is legal, but I wanted to get fellow trappers input.
I am wanting to try some specific bobcat traps this winter and I have been reading online about adding a "flag" to the area of the trap. Meaning, a visual attractor hanging from a tree limb etc 3-6 ft away or so from the trap (which is visible from a distance), but the attractor is not IN the trap, so I would think this would NOT fall under the "bait (in trap) must be hidden from view from raptors" law. The flag is something simple that will move in the wind, (a feather, etc), and since if a raptor went after the flag, it would have no chance in being caught in the cage trap, I am pretty sure this is ok.
Thoughts?
