so i found a really nice chunk of kittitas county public works dept land that runs adjacent to the yakima river. looking from google earth, i found what looked like a few beaver huts. i drove out today to take a peak and possibly set traps. there was a area closed sign, no parking, no hunting, so i called the county office looking for information regarding the land. they told me that since no hunting was allowed, that they wouldnt allow trapping as well. ok, but its public land correct? how are we not allowed to use it? is it liability that they have if youre on it? any info is appreciated. not looking to argue, just clarification.
i ended up going to another area and setting up on the river. lots of action along the shoreline so i set a few swim throughs and hope a beaver or otter comes through. any advice on setting on the river anyone wants to share? im still very much in the learning process but picking it up fairly quickly. thanks in advance for any and all replies.
