nope, they weren't around when the statute went into effect but they are listed as a foothold. You can use them under a permit if you pad the catch bar with 1/8" surgical tubing.

LOL well, that's what we are working on these traps that weren't around 12 yrs ago and are so much better than what we were using but are still outlawed.
