Same lady that opposed the bounty program last spring just a well behaved anti. Remember last year the commission was pushing for no snares on public lands that would of closed millions of acres of land to trappers until the first week of January pretty much making trapping useless then as it rub a dub time.

The stupid part of that was many places did not even hold any birds and includes the Black Hills (not pheasant habitat). With the bird numbers down their idea was to limit trappers and not shorten the bird season by 1 day even it was clearly a anti move.

Last year the push was from a Game Commissioner that his main focus was bird hunters from the way he was acting. We are in a better position now with the current Governor she is very pro trapping so lets hope she crushes this bug!

Thanks men!

Sent the GFP a email at their site and sent one to the Governor at her FB page.

Submitted my opposition to the petition and made a public comment. It's true that a vote to oppose this petition from non-residents may not figure in to their tallies, but it's nevertheless important to show our sizable support and presence.

The biggest problem is the chairman of the GFP commission appears to be an Anti. He has shown his colors several times and mislead several of us in the past. His appointment runs out in about 19 months. He has supported, and I believe even encourages the local Anti group in the state. I believe he is 100 percent anti-trapping. It will backfire to attack him. It's better to focus on making the our case to the other commissioners. If Governor Noem is re-elected I highly doubt he will be reappointed.

The check laws is what is at risk here (among other things).
-SD Trappers, do you have land owners (ranchers and farmers) that are willing to send an email? It is very easy to do. Here is the link.

Done. I don't want to see any state hamstringed any more. Even if I can't trap cats just across the river.

. "Most of our commissioners are outdoor enthusiasts that share our goal of wildlife management."

Nice thought but not reality.
By the time someone gets this position is all about political favors, money, and knowing how to please the higher ups.

Trappers should rally behind any state that needs help.

This guy is behind the elite dog hunter crowd and is working to put unneeded regulations on trappers to discourage our sport he is using the "Bird Lady" to do his bidding for him.

I've said it time and time again. Pheasant hunters are pretty much all anti trappers. Surprised South Dakota even allows trapping. Too many big dollar prize winning mutts that might scratch a paw to allow such barbaric activity.

Sorry. Just venting my frustration. The same thing has been filtering itself up here as well. Only time I'm told I cant trap is because the landowner says I'm going to injure or kill a grandkids dog or they'll break their foot.

That's not true at all. I've spent days manning the NTA booth at the National Pheasant/Quail Fest. Thousands of bird hunters and their dogs attending. They all want to stop and see the furs/traps and visit. Its actually a very good place to recruit new NTA members. Never had a single one say a negative word about trapping. To the contrary most all recognize and appreciate the role trapping plays in control of ground nesting predators. I did have three individuals tell me they didn't care for the conibears as they had lost dogs in them. Yet even they were not angry nor did they opposed to trapping generally.

I think most sportsmen are becoming more and more aware that we are all in this together. These are not anti trapping issues, these are not anti hunting issues, they are anti wildlife management issues. PERIOD. What we refer to as anti-trappers are in fact anti-harvest, anti-use, anti -management. If you spend any time on their websites and social media pages this become very clear, very quickly. . These groups are waging an attack on the whole North American Wildlife Management Model of Conservation. They simply see trapping as the most vulnerable target. The sooner all sportsmen groups and organizations understand this the better we will be.

Regardless if its at the local, state or national level, trappers and trapping associations would be wise rethink the language we use when defending against these proposals. There is a reason our opposition refers to them as "trapping" bans. We must stop allowing them to dictate the language. Call them what they are. They are anti wildlife management proposals. ALL OF THEM.
