I would not worry about New York State DEC restricting non-residents for Fisher.

Our state will give away the farm if they can make a few bucks on a trapping license.

I think you are safe on your bucket list quest.

Come get 'em Brother trappers.

walleyed

where is this meeting at and what time can public comment??

nevermind i found it on first page 2 pm at ramkota.. but need to verify time !

If you guys deserved any support, perhaps you would get it........

if they deserved it they absolutely would get my support. if im not welcome I don't see why my time or money would be either

I'd like to see KS restrict NR from states who impose different regs on NR than resident, limit them to 20 traps and no snares. coyotes taken only in regular fur season and 200 dollar per cat tagging fee along with a furbearer license.

complete restriction on residents of states with no non resident trapping. some of those MN guys don't deserve that but a lot of them do. think they are special. state hop their selves then work to keep the NR ban.

Like I said I would agree to pay more for my resident license if those rules were implemented.

I don't see why there is a anti trapping movement it's not needed. We will kill trapping without there help.

If the restrictions placed on Nonresident rat trappers In SD would have been because of a biological reason I could go along with It. But It was nothing but a greed issue.
And for that reason I can't support Any SD trapping Issues and that would go for MN to.

Why the week delay on coons by you then for NR Beav? Why can't a NR trap fox and yotes in NV or Bobcat, Marten, Otter, Fisher in MI, Only yotes in MT is that OK then, it seems to be.

Never heard of a guy that makes augers that can't trap through the ice, SD ice must be tough Rich, this is personal with you it seems, as all SD is bad but you have buddies in MN let that sink in a bit.

I don't see a big deal.If you want to trap there,go live there.

They enjoy complaining about it more then doing any trapping it seems!

complaining?....think not Informing the general trapping public of whos asking for help, and what theyve done to help there fellow trappers out in the past.....YES, as so EVERYONE knows who asking for help....

Oh, and BTW....ran my mouse traps today......

Just for the sake of clarity, non residents can trap coyotes, red fox, and swift fox in NV. Cats and grey fox are off limits.

Here is why so much of this is BS and has been for years.

1. We both agree that it's not the preferred season the way it's set up yet you lump all of us in with the 13 and only negative and childish is accepted. Looking at what's is a available is not allowed and it ruins the narrative for you.

2. While other States have restrictions/limits for NR that is always ignored, again to allow the childish games that some play!

3. Greed is often brought up yet when the rats fell below $5 most interest was lost so does greed apply to both ends then? It always cracked me up that the focus in always on the RATS but never the other critters we have that are quality furs. Some how $75 yotes are unwanted and we don't have take limits for NR either last I checked.

4. My preferred way to trap rats has always been through the ice it's just easier for me, no mud to deal with and no boat needed to get around just a pull sled, auger, spade and traps and your in business. Also I'm chasing K-9s/coons in the fall rats fill in the slow times.


5. Trapping in SD would be like going to Disney World for a kid for many trappers if you don't come then your missing out!

Still a restriction on NR is my point Steve!

The coon set back was Implemented I think before I was born It was to restrict all the coon Hunters that came up from Illinois. So It just kind of spread over to trapping.

So how is that any different then? You have the same power to change that as I do to change what we have going on here.

Love to keep playing but just got called into work so you guys keep arguing about who got the red lollypop while I'm gone!

Doesn't read as tho there is an argument on this thread. Only enlightenment with a sugar dusting of karma.

No one is arguing there are not exclusionary rules in place in many states, including my own which is the worst of all. SD recently enacted this law, wasn't on the books 50 years ago or 10 years ago, which is also a slap in the face of every trapper in the country. I support open borders for trappers and an equal playing field but it's seems it's much more difficult to get a rule change than to create one. My belief is in 15 years or so most of the anti NRs in this state will be dead and NRs will be welcome. The big question is will we have any trapping at all as we stand alone.

Jerry, I don't think the argument is so much over the limiting of trapping rights by other states. It's more the fact that there are factions of trappers in the 2 biggest states for this (MN,SD) that are actively trying to keep out others. Yet all the while they're travelling to other states to trap.

Why would I send money to help fight anti's in either of those 2 states when it is quite apparent they don't want me to come trap there?

For the record I have no problem with a state limiting takes on certain species if the reason is for sound biological reasons.

You can come to PA and trap exactly what I do, when I do. I'm not sure about the use of CR's. I don't know if you'd be required to take the course, or if they'll accept a course from another state.

Changing something that has been in the books for decades and implementing a new law because of pure greed are two very different things. Minnesotians should never been allowed to trap there but other states with true NR trapping got the shaft because of one reason. Don’t matter much anymore I suppose as fur trapping for actual profit is about over. Maybe someday I can go back to South Dakota and kill rats for the highway department. That would be fun Do hope you guys don’t lose snaring. State by state as everyone becomes more urban and trappers die off regulations taking things away are going to I’m afraid become the norm
