If this is your trap
« on: July 16, 2025, 03:21:05 PM »
Found this while working in an HOA in king county.

A whole snow goose as bait, unlabeled trap, PM did not hire anybody, cell camera posted up on it.

Anyway, WDFW's checking it out later today.

You were doing work in someone's back yard and found this?  Or on community HOA property? and then called it in to WDFW?

I feel like we are missing a little bit of important detail on this story...

I have written permission from the HOA, the Redmond police know of it and yes, there is a trap tag on it. Just gotta look a little better.

What makes zero sense or brains is why would you call the game dept.? Is something illegal ? No there’s not
Maybe it’s best to just mind your bug spraying or poison traps and not F around when everything is in the up and up

LOL! Can definitely tell your toes got stepped on, sorry I missed your tag and didn't touch your trap to look more than I wanted to.

That's literally what wdfw is for in these moments. If you are a legal beagle then why's it matter? Good luck catching whatchya got set for.
