I'd love to get back into trapping, any thing in particular that I should know? U used to trap beaver/rats/coon back in the late 70's so have been out of the loop for some time

Does that mean you can't use conabear traps or under water box traps?

Any trap that actually "grabs" onto an animal will require some special hoops to jump through ( except for commercially produced rat and mouse traps - they can still be used).  Cage traps can be used with just a trapping license during trapping season.  Cages can be set underwater, but are still referred too by most as "live" traps.

"Rats" = trapper slang for muskrat   -So not the typical "sewer" rat, just in case that was were this was going.
