This one is going to the taxidermist instead of the fur dealer.

elkslayer, What size traps do you use? And about how many cats do you catch in a year? Any advice you have on live trapping cats would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Bigshooter
I was thinking the same thing.

Those traps are the Hava-hart Model 1081's. They are 13X15X40 I believe or right around there. You can pick them up at the sportsmans warehouse for 65.00 unless the price went up last year.
I just started trapping them three years ago. I got 12 the first year and 8 the second year. Didn't trap last year, but seeing what the fur prices were I wished I did now.
Cats are pretty easy to catch even in the cages if you set in a good location. If ya want send me a pm and I will let ya in on a little known secret for a good trap location. Dont want to throw it out there for everyone to see as it is pretty obvious once you know and an easy way for others to find your traps.
What I use for bait is grouse and pheasent carcasses, just wire them to the back of the trap. I also put a little scent lure on a stick and place it about a foot infront of the trap and off to the side a little. Cover the sides, top and back of the trap with branches or whatever, I use pine boughs they seem to work pretty good and help keep the snow out as well. I'll have to take some pics of some of my setups this year and post so you can see.

Does anyone know if I can still buy a trappers license without my trapping "card"? It would be equivalent to a hunting green card. I don't have the hunting card either but all my stuff is already in the system so it doesn't really matter. I probably wouldn't be in the trapping system. That is if it's different.

If you have been a licensed trapper before and you still know your trapper number, I believe you can.

Sounds like you passed the test but never trapped (purchased a trapping license)? They probably won't have it in the system.
A few years ago my father and I wanted to get copies of our hunters ed cards and F&G told us we weren't in the system and we had to sign an affidavit that we had taken the course. I took mine in '79 and my father about ten years earlier. They also told my father that they did not have him on file as taking the trappers course.
We signed the document and later both found our cards in an old box. In that box was also his trappers card. Moral of the story...keep everything.

You think they'd let me sign an affidavit for the trapping course?
I would push the issue and the fact that you took the test.
