county park trapping?

<< < (2/3) > >>

fatslinger:
About 10 or 11 years ago the voters in this state were duped by animal rights activists to approve an initiative which banned the use of 'body gripping traps'.  There are not many fur trappers left due to the fact that cage traps are not as effective for many furbearers and they are heavy and difficult to carry for any distance.
We are trying to change this situation with HB 1137. This bill would once again allow humane traps to be used.

Thanks for some clarifification guys. I have never trapped before, but my dad did it a lot in his youth. Mostly muscrat and beavers. I think it would be a neat experience.

They are an unprotected animal so are legal to trap year round. Limitations on traps are the same as other animals though.
They have no fur value. I do see one sell on taxidermy.net once in a while though. I have sold a few for biological research for $10. No real established markets for them though.

Blacktailaddict:
cool,opposums are unprotected to right? any market for them? any other unprotected species that can be trapped besides coyotes? thanks for the info!!!!
