Another sad thing is the thief has learned where to look for traps. Sorry brother.

How many did they get? One trap I would think a kid, a lot of traps it would be an adult. If they don't trap what are they going to do with them? If they sale them maybe some one on this site will notice.

So, WDFW has the don't screw with others traps law/regulation, are they doing anything? What can they do? Anyway, preserver.
There are only so many sunrises left.

Being a non trapper and living on the east side and so I can be informed what is a colony trap and the east side is a little vague so any particular area? North Central, North east, South central,

Belay the question on what a colony trap is, as it appears that it is similar to box live trap...

Afraid to say it is almost unheard of for a trap thief to be caught.

I know you can't use body gripping traps on animals but what about thieves?  One of those huge double spring bear taps would be perfect
