After Jan 1 and stop mid March usually.

I start trapping when the season open here that is the first saturday of Nov. and trap till the weather gets me or there is not much game where I trap.

October 15 is land opening. I start then and go as long as I can. Some will say that is to early.

For fur, December 1st- February 28th

Around 1979 I was trapping predators in SE Arizona. A man named Bishop from New York came into the area. He said he had done so well trapping fox in Wyoming that he was basically vacationing for the rest of the season. I asked if he started in September in Wyoming. He said he started in August. I said AUGUST? He said "don't knock it", that he averaged $20 on fox. When asked who paid $20 for August fox he said he shipped all his furs to a buyer he knew in New York. It sounded like a waste of wildlife to me.

We can start trapping coyotes for the CWD study starting In August. But access to farm land Is a bit rough with none of the crops being harvested.

Wolf, coyote, fox, muskrat and beaver open Oct 1. I'll trap muskrat in the last week of October. Nov 1 marten, fisher, mink, wolverine open and I'll go hard right from the opener. Lynx and otter open Dec 1 and i'll go hard from opener and start on wolves at this time. Things get to be a blur around Christmas when I start the under ice beaver until the end of Jan when marten and fisher close and then mid Feb lynx closes. We go until spring or fighting damage is bad on beaver, rats and otter (or we quota out) Seasons end May 15.

It opens nov 1st here, but I dont think im going to set right away

Just south of I-10 and smack dab between San Antonio and Houston here I start with coyotes around Thanksgiving, raccoons and cats start up around Christmas. Then trap till mid March.
