Am I reading it right that mn residents can not trap in Wisconsin? I am fairly new to trapping but I suppose it is because MN doesn't allow non-resident trapping

Yes

Yes

thank you

If you were from MN why would you want to trap anywhere else?

Why dont they practice what they preach?
Or do they support non resident trapping?

Some of us would like to trap in other states! Not all of US Minnesota boys are against non resident trapping!

I bet it's an old rule that just hasn't been addressed. Maybe someday it will change.

I know one thing about Wisconsin. Their trapper education course is no joke. I finally finished it recently and it was fun and challenging. I always find it interesting to see the rules in different states.

Its a hundred year old rule that has been challenged in court unsuccessfully. Those in this state opposed to it will see trapping outlawed before they allow nonresidents to trap here

yes sir.....

It seems like reciprocity would be a good idea

Seems like it.

I'm going to be awful upset when my grandson comes of age and won't be able to actively trap with me someday because he lives in a different state.

Minnesota and Hawaii are the only states that don’t sell non resident trapping licenses.

Sounds like where I work. “If it makes sense and is logical, it’s against policy. “

The old age crowd that votes against reciprocity will have to pass away before reciprocity can be brought into law. I worked many years to get reciprosity here in Wis. My first nonresident trappers ed student was from Alaska when law was passed.
