That's the theory.what's fact is if you're running 25 traps a day you could concievably run 50,with the latter 25 set on new areas.

Yes that is possible I guess. I have several times, especially on larger water, caught one and done. What we asked for was all water animals using lethal sets. Tennessee went that way and it’s just nothing but good for trappers. I would like the flexibility to do it both ways. It’d be good , to me, to do an initial 24 check and then go 48 and pull. I catch the most first night of set heavy.

Yeah, but you can't cover as much fresh territory and skim the cream, that's the game changer.

I trap in two other states besides KY - the license is way higher in both than for a resident license - but 48 hour checks on kill sets and no limits on otter or bobcats. You can hammer beaver on a 48 hour check. Being able to run 2 lines is a huge advantage. You can set one in a familiar area and know you will catch some, then set the other in a prospect area and roll the dice. Granted where I am trapping if it is wet you will catch beaver, and otter, and rats, and nutria (yep, even in KY).

As far as lowering the non-resident rate to $30, I agree they need to fix our check on water kill sets and extend the season through March before even discussing dropping the non-resident rate.

Yes that non-res price is more in line with our res price here.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

In favor of extend check times but the simple facts are fur market and prices drive the harvest not attracting out of state trappers (Not opposed to out of staters). Hobby trappers will never take enough furbearers to keep populations in check and most folk don't wanna pay for removal (I know from experience). Until groups outside of trapping organizations start promoting the use of fur we will see desperate attempts by wildlife agency's to find ways of controlling population without employing trappers on a payroll.

Just a thought....With fur prices plummeting.... license prices need to be in order.
And a longer ck law is in the trapper and DNRs favor.
