I'm confused too !!! If its unclassified wildlife you can trap and hunt them as long as you have a trapping license and OR small game hunting license as the way I read it ???? Maybe Bruce will chime in on this |

There is questions quite often about the rules and regulations involving trapping and this pretty much answers them all and looks like nothing will change until 2018. :tup: --- End quote --- It is now. |

It is my understanding that you can trap any unclassified wildlife year around. I'm not sure why you would want to for the most part. I did have a little experience with this years ago. At that time the season closed in February. I had a broken leg healing and could not work but I could trap. It was march and I figured civets were still good so I was out trapping them. I ran into a game warden and of course he wanted to know what I was up to. I told him and although he thought I was crazy he said I was within the law. Now the season is so long I can't really imagine any unclassified wildlife being of any value outside season. I used to trap coyotes in October also before season opened. If you try this you better have a good explanation when you get asked because it will happen eventually. You can trap nuisance wildlife outside season on private property with cage traps even if you are not a WCO. You cannot charge for your services if you are not a WCO though. |
