Living in Oklahoma and with a Max of 20 traps allowed, your not running much of a longline.

Any recommendations for a guy looking for a place to go do this?

I'm in the middle of the country, so can pretty much go wherever I want in the States in just a day or 2.


Thank you for any input!

Wyoming.

You can come to Alabama and run 150 coyote traps a day

Any state that doesn't have check laws...

Plus a lot of public land that allows you to trap on. Unless, you have a lot of time to get private permission. I noticed that non-residents are allowed to use an unlimited number of traps in Oklahoma but residents only 20 traps?

Utah is a good choice. No trap number restrictions here
.

Great point, your right there

For a west coast state, Oregon actually has some decent trapping laws and quite a bit of public ground. however there are plenty of anti's around even in the hunting community.

My top choices would be either NM or Utah.

Depends on what you want to trap.

I think everyone should save up some vacation time next season, and head to within about 300 miles of Broadus, Montana!....Nah, maybe not, Lol.

Self employed, vacation time isn't the problem lol, what up there?

Have you tried New Mexico? I was wondering about that state..... Just starting to look around.

Cats & canine's mainly

Alabama will likely have the same coyote pelt quality as we have here,... With about $5 on a good day..... But I may be wrong?

Depends what you're wanting to trap. I'd think a state you could trap ROW without permission such as Iowa would be a great place for an out of stater to long line. We have some pretty nice laws here in Nebraska. If you can find someone to kind of get you on a few places other than 24 hour checks it's really wide open on equipment, sets, and number of animals trapped. I'd find a place with relaxed laws and right of way trapping if it were me.

I've seen it written many times that Oklahoma has weird crappy trapping laws.

Unfortunately.... The state is good on many things.... Trapping is not one of them

One of my lines is about 45 mintues to 1 of the gates.
There's plenty of public land for you to trap. No number of trap restrictions, only difference between Residents and Non residents trapping is the license fees.

Here's our hunting and trapping proclamation

Non residents can by up to 6 bobcat tags just like residents. Pm me what tells you otherwise. I just reread lastyeats regs. This years hasn't been released yet. You just have to prove you took a trappers ed course.
