Cherry Valley Traps Found

[dayn]

No its cool Bro, I dont think there is a bad man in this post, it just got carried away.

I was basically generalizing the reasons why Dave may have got upset, by all means if someone is trapping illegally it needs to be reported to the authorities, would prefer it doesnt go to the media, but, that is sometimes hard to control.

Bring up the crap that is going on in Oregon is  a personal attack o commercial trappers,,,,,,,,,   it also raise the exposure ad helps the antis course,,,,,

Backstraps!!!!!!!   Spelling police SUCK!@!!

Man...nobody is bagging on any legal trapping operations. Nobody is attacking commercial trappers. This thread, like Happy said, was started regarding a very public, very popular dog training/hunting/birding/etc area that lots of people here in town use for lots of outdoor activities with dogs, kids, families, etc. My 4 tear old kid and I were there just a short time ago. It's really eff'ing great feeling that I can not let her out of my sight there now for fear of her getting caught in some dipchit's illegal trap. She's probably half the size of the dog that got caught. Luckily she won't be playing in any beaver ponds there anytime soon.   This trap was set a long way from any private ground, so there was no honest mistakes with this setbeing where it was.
 Some people need to relax...nobody is out to get anybody but the illegal trapper with threads like this.

I am freaking lost...so were the traps happy posted about illegally placed at the release site?  or were they at some lake in the duvall area? or do we actually have 2 separate incidents somehow screwed together?....because if at the release site that is scary lots of people use it due to its easy access to be real honest its a bad idea not because trapping is bad but due to the high use by people and dogs.

There's 2 different topics being discussed here. The trap Happy is talking about that originated this thread was found in the ditch next to the birding tower at Cherry Valley. Not sure how long that tower has been there so I don't know if you know about it or not, but it's not too far from the main parking area. I can see it from my house.

Sounds more like someone protecting a grow.   I'd be more concerned about other boobie traps.   20 inches is HUGE

A outdoor grow in Feb. were do they plug in the lights?

Didn't read the whole boneaddict link.... my gal thinks 6 inches is huge. 20 inches would kill a horse!

A dog was caught in a trap at Cherry Valley Public Area. The trap was illegal and it is NOT legal to trap in Cherry Valley Public Area. The illegal trap which caught the dog was in a ditch near the birding tower which is part of the Cherry Valley area.

I mentioned a separate case where someone's dog in Oregon was caught in a trap basically in their backyard. The dog died. The trap was set by Federal Agents and was intended for nutria. (big rats, real big)

Actually, I may have mis-worded that... It may indeed be legal to trap in Cherry Valley. I don't know yes or no to that. If I was a trapper there is no way I'd put one out there. When we're out training dogs we get interupted by folks who don't like us shooting birds and hunters there have experienced the same problem. I wouldn't want to leave a trap out there for fear someone not down with trapping would vandalize or steal it. Too much traffic out there.... Obviously, the style of trap used was not legal.

Up in the forest? Sure that wasnt a mountain Beaver?

Not defending any poor choices the trapper may have made as to location, but I'm curious about something. It's been stated several times in this thread that the style of trap is illegal.  Where did that information come from? Conibear traps are legal in this state, provided a permit has been granted by WDFW and they are placed underwater.  Perhaps Happy Gilmore could respond? Not calling anyone out, but hate to see misinformation spread.
