just bringing this up in case anyone has forgotten. i just did mine today

[Cylvertip]

I strictly trap Special Permit,  at least at this time.  I always panic thinking I have to include all this activity on the report but swear I did not the year before - then I finally see the note on the report not to include special permit activity...

Just sent mine in.  It would be a pain to write up all the activity for the year. Glad it is still excluded.

About to get going on flat tailed rats again as the farmers are starting prepping fields and finding lakes when they check on them.

is there a drop box at the dept of f/w?

[greenhead_killer]

i was at the yakima one last week getting some stuff sealed and cant recall if they had a drop box or not. they had a table with a bunch of stuff on it outside, but i didnt pay too close attention. just call or email and theyve been on it with responding quickly.

[Oh Mah]

no i just went down there,i put it in the mail no biggie should be post marked today anyway.glad this post was on here.

salmon catch cards due the 30th.the table outside has a box for them.

Here's how I do it nowadaze.

[Oh Mah]

Smart. 

[Ghost Hunter]

Thanks.  Actually had something on it this year.

[JakeLand]

I just scan and send email of it every year ( trapping reports)

[greenhead_killer]

That’s what I did this year as well. Easy peasy

[Katalla]

I send it via email, since I get a reply that WDFW received my report.

[Loup Loup]

The reply is important. The law here is that the trapper must prove his report got to Olympia. Ive never gotten a reply, hence the certified mail signed receipt.
Idaho's season ends in June. Around May they mail their questionaire to trappers. You send it back to them. They then send you a postcard confirming they got it.
Easy and no screw ups.

[Oh Mah]

after it was shown a receipt is a good idea,i made another copy and faxed it to the fax number.the fax will record submission of my report. 

[Loup Loup]

Good Idea Oh Mah.
I have no computer or fax so its still mail for me.
I know of two tickets for non reporting that were floated to trappers in Okanogan county after last season. One guy went to court and told the Judge he'd mailed his in. The Judge threw the citation out. The trapper knows the warden and asked him why he wrote the ticket. The warden claimed he was told from Olympia to write some non reporting tickets. I don't know how the other instance shook out. I was told of this second hand, by a credible trapper.
Uh, is that an oxymoron? Anyway trappers, proactively CYAs.
