If trapping or selling fur is banned? Personally I think “it would be crazy” if somehow there was mysteriously some traps set on my property... must’ve dropped em and they fell open...

Yall better hang on to them traps.

Traps dont need ammo to be used to feed your family.

Its not your property.
Quit paying your taxes to be allowed to use it and see how quick you get the boot.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

The Cancel Culture will probably offer us a buy-back program and our traps will go the way of Confederate monuments. There's no thread to our past they won't break.

X2 for sure. People are getting rid of traps now because of the low fur prices. Just got back from picking up a few tonight.

I will keep trapping just will get premium pay for doing what I once did for free like warrior does. just because the fools outlaw it that will not fix anything the problems will not only be there but will increase you can bet on that. LOL the only thing is it will be govermented all up and not cost efficient.

Animals will never play nice they are clueless, property and health will always come first.

Someone will have to keep the yotes from eating fluffy. I plan to keep doing control work regardless of the fur trade.
As Swamp Wolf said they can feed the family if need be and I think them two bear traps under the TV could be right handy for bigger game if need be. May not get a full foot catch, but I cant see a toe caught jackboot powering out of a #6. grin

And on top of what Boco said, Most municipalities have zoning and subdivision controls as well, limiting what property owners can do with their property.

Your right Boco. I’ve been saying this for years. We don’t own our land just rent it. Don’t pay your rent (property taxes) for three years and they will evict you and start renting to someone else.

Well, all my guns got lost in a lake, and my traps might go into the same lake. Set, of course, in front of a castor mound or pipe set.

No one else in our family traps. If trapping is outlawed then they become fairly worthless for income or transferring to other trappers. If I am unable to trap prior to being dead or incompetent I will work out a disposal plan. I will put together a list of options and names for family if I am gone. No use for them to deal with items they have little to no knowledge about.

Keep setting them. No danger of trapping being banned here.

IF trapping is outlawed, it would be recreational trapping that is outlawed. ADC and research trappers (government) would still be allowed. We will just get to charge them for trapping, and make more money off of them.

That's why it's important to be clear that there's no such thing as recreational trapping.

Yup, it is regulated not recreational. Although it kind of is because we don’t charge for it.

They will change the definition to be what they want it to mean, just like when Florida banned kill traps... they included footholds in the definition of kill traps...
