2X . Within a mile of my house I can harvest beaver,rats,mink,coon,otter,coyote,red and gray fox,bobcat,fisher,weasel,skunk,opossum and liberal. No season bag limits and reasonable length of seasons. Quality is dependent on when you set.
Downside- must travel an hour for a 6 limit marten season. lol

lol I cant believe no one said misery! We have ugly yotes and tons of worthless coons! Hey but the otter trapping is ok. But yes we have to use fake snares but im growing used to them. Our laws are pretty lax compared to others .Our coni laws are pretty strict but at least we can set 330 half submerged now! We do grow some nice grinners!

Right where I'm at is hard to beat. Although my hope for retirement is to trap a few different states. Sux that most of these states have horrible trapping laws. Co az nv NM. For non resident anyway. Always wanted to get in on a reservation tho. Heard rumored their regs are totally different

Joe. I was looking for sympathy. lol. Long tailed, nice white colored when prime.

Sounds like a lot of us like our local areas? I find Illinois a great place to trap. People are friendly toward trappers. We have good fur and a lot of it. Lots of food for fur bearers. Long seasons. We can use most traps. No limits accept badgers and we don't have very many statewide anyway. No weasels here though- only in northern IL.

Michigan all the way plenty of cold nasty weather to keep folks out of the woods and prime the pelts. You can catch just about every furbearing animal in NA on a single check, with a lot of hard work and a little luck.

Northern Michigan has plenty of Federal and State Land...

Is there room without stepping on toes??

For what it's worth here are the quantities of furbearer trapped in Arizona in the 1980-81 season. I hung on to the old report for no good reason.

Coyote---- 14,871
Gray fox-- 26,150
Kit fox---- 2,897
Bobcat---- 9,696
Ringtail cat 3,289
Badger---- 1,127
Raccoon---- 839
Skunk----- 4,063
Muskrat--- 2,949
Beaver------ 83

Est.# trappers--- 1834

Obviously not a good state for water animals.
Those numbers are from before Phoenix Phonies virtually outlawed trapping in the entire state.

furvor that was also after prices had been good for several years. I doubt very many people today would believe how large a completely sustainable harvest can be

Hi Trappergbus I never run into many Coyote and fox trappers in Northern Lower or Upper Peninsula and I usually trap different routes on different years, I like to explore. I kind of steer clear of big muskrat swamps as everybody claims they trapped them for a 100 years, plus I'd rather stay dry and trap canines. Do float some cool rivers once in a while, if I see pressure I move on to a different river.

Thanks John I'll keep that all in mind. I might get up that way after I retire later this year.

Thanks Man

That would be cool Trappergbus stop by PCS and I'll give you a tour.

I will do that, i may get up that way fishin this summer. I'll send you a PM if and when I do.
