A while back I asked which states combined trapping in with the Sportsman’s package. This has been tossed out there for Kentucky. I am concerned that true trapper numbers will be somewhat suppressed by lumping us in and not having specific one license one trapper accountability. Have any of you seen anything of this manner occur? I was told California used this to water down and do away effectively with trapping. I think the intent may not be suspect but for things to change things are changed and I don’t want to see us having to fight a battle in five or ten years. California had effectively shut down fur trapping well before using the excuse of too low of numbers to justify hiring game wardens to monitor them.

In many places they keep it separate so they can collect another fee rather then lump it into one license.

I have an Indiana lifetime hunting and fishing and I still have to buy a trapping license here. It's always been a separate license here.

HERE IN TENNESSEE IT HAS BEEN THAT WAY FOR YEARS. I HAVE HAD THE LIFETIME LICENSES FOR 5 YEARS AND I CARRIED A SPORTSMAN LICENSE FOR PROBABLY 15 YEARS BEFORE THAT, AND IT WAS ALWAYS INCLUDED. THERE HAS AT TIMES BEEN SOME CONCERN EXPRESSED ABOUT BEING UNABLE TO OBTAIN THE TRUE NUMBER OF TRAPPERS IN THE STATE. HAVING SAID THAT, AS FAR AS I KNOW IT HASN'T CAUSED ANY PROBLEMS DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. IT IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO STAY ON TOP OF ANY CHANGES IN YOUR TRAPPING REGULATIONS. YOUR STATE TRAPPERS ASSOCIATIONS NEED ALL THE HELP THEY CAN GET WITH THIS WORK. Why are you shouting?

It use to be that way In WI but we fought to have a separate licence.

Yep, Box traps or "gums" were heavily used for rabbits for many years.
I remember seeing them as a kid in the 1960's, in the overgrown RR right of ways.
