Of course I understand that Dirt.
I also understand that for the current proposal the participation rates will be so low any impact will be minimal as it will be generally still be iced over or in the transition stage.
Let us explore the exceptions. Is it possible added pressure could help the species in circumstances? You mean like spring beaver? What happens when it gains popularity like the spring beaver season? What are we talking about here? A true open water season? It that is the case there will be added pressure. But than again your spring beaver trapping can't be overly popular, if it was there shouldn't be a large need for APHIS

I large in favor vote with that much ambiguity regarding dates speaks volumes.
Bryce Could have been the intent?

What humors me is MY perception resource utilization to its full potential....so many never had the privilege to handle the *"greasy" March rats, I reckon what we don't know wont hurt us.
*….."greasy" around min 46 NAFA marsh to mainstreet..
Im growing tired:( Disappointment would be an understatement.

Rat season should open state wide Oct 15th and close April 30th. With in those dates let the trapper decide when to start and when to finish. Ours here in the southern area of the province is oct 25-apr30

Keep your head and keep it moving forward. If you get bored you can come over here and help try advance NR trapping.

If the 3 zone does move forward I tend to believe that finding common ground on fall opening dates will be easier to find than closure dates in the spring. It will probably take more pressure and effort to be able to lengthen the spring season as from what I learned with talking with individuals there was more interest in the opening dates as open water trapping is what is driving much of this effort.
Bryce Good luck Nimzy cause you're gonna need it.
Irony is i don't even fall trap. Working on behalf of all the road type workin fellas who cant trap till deer season. you know us size 2 hat types. Forgive my agenda and frustration,

Ours here in the southern area of the province is oct 25-apr30 Well look at that. Your season in Ontario, doesn’t start until the 25th. Yet Wisconsin’s northern trappers complain that they miss out on open water fall trapping. How on earth can you handle all that ice?

I would be happy with the start dates in Ontario. Southern Ontario is further south than most of WI. The start date in Ontario for latitudes similar to northern WI is October 15, I believe.

Steve, that is correct.
Brian, you may not know this but coonwild probably lives south of Minneapolis and the majority of rats caught in Ontario are most likely caught south of Minneapolis.
Here are season tables for Ontario. I thank the good lord every day I don't have to read Ontarios regulation pamphlet more than once a decade. What a cluster!
Muskrat
1 to 35, 38 to 41
October 5 to May 15 in the year next following.
15.
Muskrat
36, 37, 42 to 67, 69B
October 15 to April 30 in the year next following.
16.
Muskrat
68, 69A, 70 to 95
October 25 to April 30 in the year next following.]
The number above the season dates are the wildlife management units they fall under.
