Where would it be?

Nevada for coyotes.

Out to my camp.

I'm finally going to south Texas this coming season!

I thought about this and I'm with Boco. I like trapping my farm and on my neighbors' farms. I wish we had a few more different species but I like my routine and set up.

But I understand wanting a different challenge and change of scenery.

Alaska!

If anyone says = Alabama. Come on down and I will put you to work trapping coyotes LOL!!

Some where to trap pine martin.

Would love to to trap grey fox. I really miss them here.

Alaska!

Just stay where I'm at, it's got all I want.


Just can't wait to do it even more than I do now ,
And I already trap all year long, just make more money this time
Of the year.

Personally I'd love to see what I could in South Dakota in the spring, but non residents aren't allowed anymore, I think it would be a blast though!

Nebraska, but since the Peoples Republic of Minnesota doesn't allow nonresident trappers, most other states won't let us trap in theirs.

I like it here, lots of variety and numbers are good.
Maybe a ride along with one of the local legends would be fun here.

colorado then new mexico for cats and coyotes on blm using foot traps

I'd like to trap a wolverine

Somewhere up north where I could run a line with sleds for marten, lynx and wolverine. I would be satisfied with just a week long ride along with a local trapper.

I'd love to catch a big cat

I’d just like a ride along for a few days to a week with anyone who actually has critters to trap.

5 months from Maine to Florida
2 weeks a state. Skipping a few of course.
You did say a trip
And that would be a TRIP.

A whole winter with multiple camps in a mountain range with pine marten

After seeing Boco's pictures from his line, that looks like a good spot to me!

Texas for bobcats.

Dakotas for yotes.

PA for reds.

Since we don’t have them here,I’d love to be on a big muskrat marsh

would like a big southern water line for beaver and otter.

Come to Montana we have plenty, so many we usually have a few
In town every year.

Take me with you


But really, Montana, ND or Idaho would be pretty cool

To the Panhandle of Nebraska for predators.

A Mt coyote adventure! I'm going this Dec if everything goes like I plan

Would like to spend time on a big line with someone in Canada or Alaska.

Kodiak Island for those huge red fox, or Montana for fox and coyote.

Ive caught nearly one thousand coyotes in my life, but I would ride over to 'Bama to watch SteelTraps work.

wolf

mt. lion

Washington DC with some big traps.... no reason...

thinking you'd bait them with a modicum of "power" and/or lots of non-traceable "donations"...

I spent 7 weeks trapping In the bush In Ontario. I caught marten, lynx a wolf otter fisher and red fox + a neat cross fox and a silver fox. And some beaver and muskrats.

I think a few weeks on the Horicon would be good for my soul.

You would probably do better In ND.

I would like to go to the upper peninsula of Michigan.

Swamp Wolf. Come on down anytime I will put you to work! LOL! Im heading out Monday for job near Mississippi line

Thanks for the offer. I retire from my real job in 14 months. I just might ride over for a couple days after that.

Hope you didnt miss the part where I said "watch steeltraps work." Lol

Rocky bobcat trapping. Or

South Dakota snaring coyotes. Or

Texas mn lion trapping.

Have room for another around january? Haha

I’d like to go to a giant marsh loaded with muskrats and me and my grandpa. I could tell you it wouldn’t be more enjoyable or funnier than that!

Australia for red fox and dingo's

Up to James Bay to trap with Boco!

Coyote trapping in southern Sask,for those pale highline coyote's the nicest coyote's on earth.2nd choice coyote and bobcat trapping in eastern Oregon.those are some of the nicest bobcats I 've seen and a descent coyote.

I really do enjoy most everything Nebraska has to offer. 20 Scout you can come play anytime you want....If I had to pick one trip it would be somewhere I would have a chance at a few wolves. It's definitely a bucket list for me.

Argentina/Chile

I would love to and have had several offers to do so, including ADC work for some ranchers. But unfortunately Minnesota doesn't allow non-residents trapping (unless you own property here), therefore Nebraska won't allow us MN residents to trap there. Years ago some MN trappers pushed that law through so they wouldn't have to worry about an out of stater taking "their" critters. Those guys have done more damage to this states trapping industry than all the tree huggers have done since. Would love to turn that around so I can take you up on that offer. Wolves are on my bucket list too but our governor has taken it up upon himself to have the state manage them instead of the DNR. What a piece of work he is.....

Might not be able to trap but you can still come have a good time. We had someone ride along most days last year when we ran our vacation line (Matt comes from Indiana most years). We were covering about 150 a day. Might have to scale that back a bit this year.

WI has a very good diversity of species to catch and pockets of good numbers with most fur in the OK to good market value. We can also have all kinds of weather to trap in or "against". WI has one of the highest rural populations in the Mid-West and that can make working around human activities a concern.
As to a trapping trip? As I age wading big marshes is fading in ability and desire. It would be good for me to get to a state or area with huge blocks of public or private land and look for sigh and set traps with miles of miles and miles. I would not even care if it had been trapped prior to getting there. Just having a lot of wide open spaces, learning to read and set sign in a very different region and habitat area would make it a decent learning experience.

I've actually been wondering for a while, and this seems to be a good thread to ask this question since we're discussing traveling out-of-state to trap, if there are any rules/regulations out there regarding having multiple trap tags on individual traps. Obviously it would be a state-by-state thing and rules vary wildly for individual states but I'm curious if there's anybody out there who's seen any rules prohibiting this?

In other words - all my traps have trap tags on them with my Idaho trapping number. If I wanted to take a trip to Montana, for example, pay for a nonresident trapping license and follow all the other rules/regulations regarding NR Montana trapping, could I have two trap tags on the same trap? I can't imagine they'd require you to take off your ID tag and only have a MT tag on there (but maybe). Or what if you lived in a corner of a state where you were near the intersection of ID/MT/WY, had permissions to trap in all three states, decided to pay for two NR licenses in addition to your resident trapping license - could you simply put three trap tags on every trap and have all your bases covered?

I understand that it would be slightly more work for any F&G/DNR officer to run your number if he needed to for any reason, but I can't imagine it would be THAT much extra work, so I'm not sure that any state would bother making rules prohibiting it, but I'm sure it varies from state to state. With the understanding that some states are more pro-trapping than other states, I could see a lot of states having no issue with this but some states making rules against it.

Just curious if anyone's ever run into this, seen any rules for/against it, or what most guys do in this situation if/when they travel out-of-state to do a little trapping.

Most states (possibly all, but since I haven't checked all states regs I hesitate to say that) allow you to put either your ID number OR your name and address. I have no idea what my Idaho trapping ID number is, happen to know my Oregon one by chance (it happened to be the same as the last four of a credit card I had and therefore stuck in my memory), and no idea what my Wyoming one is, or Washington (assume I still have one there, but haven't had a trapping license there since they outlawed footholds and bodygrips twenty some years ago). My address is always the same, but my number in each state is different. Therefore I just have my name and address on my tags. Simplifies everything.

I do know that Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming have no regulations on how many trap tags are on a trap and require a tag for everyone who might check that trap be on it. Either Oregon or Wyoming (can't remember which) allows (or at least used to) an immediate family member or someone carrying written permission from the trapper to check his traps, and many states allow a landowner to check traps on their private land. But back to your question, if they allow multiple tags, then I can't see a problem with having tags for multiple states on there. You could also put multiple trap ID numbers on one tag, or simply put name and address like I do.

Thanks, good info. That's actually an excellent point I hadn't even considered (just put your name/address and it would cover all the bases) because I don't use my name/address on trap tags and I kinda forgot that that's how it used to be across the board. The small, paranoid part of me doesn't like putting my name/address on there because of all the crazies out there - I don't like advertising who I am and where I live. Fortunately, I've always been in states that allow your wildlife number, trapper license number, or whatever term individual states use. I'm happy to see more and more states adopting this practice, and it seems like it's becoming more widespread, so all my tags are just numbers.

Colorado? Do you have cages?

Any were up north, to go after different fur!

fixed it for you Beav.

Boco has to anti up for a trip to the auction like EBsurveryor did....can you think of the smiles on guys faces like last years magazine article.

Go for the cats, and forget those foxes and coyotes. . .unlless they are paying you bounty !

I like it here. Pretty bobcats, decent coyotes, 3 different species of fox, spotted skunks are cool, and millions of acres of BLM access. Fairly mild winters too. No water trapping to speak of, but I don’t mind.

Montana was fun, but where I was public land was non existent, landowners weren’t real friendly, and winter was a brutal SOB. Pretty coyotes though.

Honestly, as long as I can get after a big pile of canines, I don’t care where I’m doing it lol

High desert in New Mexico

Love to run a line in Alaska, but I would settle for Montana lol. Lynx and wolf are top of my list as far as species.
