It's a big deal. We managed to get staff's proposal of closing otter trapping (all areas that would be closed to beaver trapping), to flipping the script completely. Therefore opening areas of the state that have been closed to otter trapping for the past 60 years! Huge victory for our side.
Further, we had 30 trappers there in attendance to testify or otherwise be there in support. The antis maybe had 4-5 and a couple of on-line testimonies.
Hurrah for the trappers..today we celebrate!!!
