The ONLY extended check allowed here is if the entire trap is submerged and it is designed to drown. IE: Drowning cable and lock or drowning chain or rods. Technically you can set them on day one and check them the last day of season if you wanted. All others are 24 hour check to include all conis and snares. If you are in the row those traps better be at least 200 yds from a building inhabited by human or livestock. LLL

REMOVAL OF ANIMALS FROM TRAPS & SNARES All animals or animal carcasses caught in any type of trap or snare, except those that are placed entirely under water and designed to drown the animal immediately, must be removed from the trap or snare by the trap or snare user immediately upon discovery and within 24 hours of the time the animal is caught.
No where does it say anything about a mandatory check for a trap designed to drown immediately. LLL

"within 24 hours of when the time it is caught" is poor language.
I'm surprised a warden hasn't hammered someone with it.

No where is there a specific description of what designates a drowning set. This could mean a trap with a long chain and drowning stake, or a trap with a weight fastened near the trap. Its mostly up to the interpretation by the officer. While there is no description there is common knowledge of what will meet muster or enforcement. A simple long chain or weight will never fly as you well know. If you are trapping out of state, my advice is to speak with the CO from the area you plan to trap. Around here it is standard to have cable with a lock of some kind and two anchors. Anything else will draw attention. Not just from law officials either. LLL
