I see this is mainly a way to check traps without getting close, however does anyone use Landscaping flags attached to the doors that lay flat when the trap is set but are vertical when door is closed? Kind of like a tip up flag for ice fishing.

Bingo!

Did a quick mod to a trap to see how it would look and work. Attached with 2 4 inch zip ties

I know who made those cages !! They work well

Hope so have 3 more coming

[JakeLand]

In my opinion one of the best cat cages I’ve got and I’ve got 10 of them

please excuse my trap manufacture ignorance, but who made them?

[JakeLand]

Jesse ( ouchfoss) good guy ! He makes all my cages

Sweet. Thanks

So the WDFW finally got back to me and the verdict is that trapping is form of hunting, so checking a trap with a drone is illegal. Bummer, but I'm glad I asked rather than get turned into a test case for the WDFW.

Lol

BS answer

  Yup no doubt

Not a BS answer, in fact, it's the law.

RCW 77.08.010(33) "To hunt" and its derivatives means an effort to kill, injure, harass, harvest, or capture a wild animal or wild bird.
RCW 77.08.010(65) "To trap" and its derivatives means a method of hunting using devices to capture wild animals or wild birds.

Thanks for the correction and clarification!

So.....   playing devil's advocate here.
(And I do appreciate the facts you bring to so many threads bigtex)

I dont think a drone violates those laws. 

You're not hunting or trapping with it. 
It doesn't help kill or capture.

thats my thoughts or harassing them

It is however part of an effort to harvest or capture. That being said..proving a guy isnt just out flying his drone around. Is tough to do.

it doesn’t assist in harvesting as if it’s all n the trap it already is and doesn’t help capture it
But this is Washington so
