In the last few years I've had three encounters with dog-walkers that were trespassing on private properties where I had permission to be and they did not. In two cases they left me nasty notes. In all three cases they stole my traps and were dumb enough to call the game wardens and the police to report my "illegally" set traps.
I successfully pressed charges on all three.
One of my best spots is also a trouble spot. The local anti-trappers/dog-walkers know I trap there and I know where they live (I do my homework). They know I had one of their neighbors prosecuted and he paid over $400.00 in fines and court costs (judge let him of easy). Things were quiet a few years after that but this season I had a fox stolen and traps smashed there.
I smell another prosecution coming. It's the only thing these clueless idiots understand.
Eh...wot?

WTH, She is a marine man, and attends shot show.
IF anybody knows the owner, the appropriate law is NRS 8194;501.3765, and there are more than that, it's definitely allowed on BLM land.

Someone there has to follow up on this and not let her get away with it... if the trap was legally set. Are trap tags required there?
Yes, trap tags are required. Either a paid for number or Name and address I zoomed in on the trap photos but can see no trap tags on it, it could of been real close to the trap or stamped on, or they took it off. Says DNR found several other traps in the area in the replies to her post. I hope they were legally set traps. Several of our guys are giving her guff now. They tagged the DNR our there too, so they can see it. Kinda puts them on the spot.

She sounds like an expert in wildlife biology to me. How else was she able to diagnose that it was a "juvenile" coyote that she found in a leg trap? Probably thinks coyotes are as big as German shepherds.

Unfortunately with the laws nothing will be done, its now legal to trip traps in Nevada if there is immediate threat. Might be able to get her for theft but i doubt they even try. As for the blm they'll just push to make a trap free zone. This may have been in one but not sure of those zonez in vegas area. She should move back east, after seeing the trash in the mountains around Vegas don't know what would be enjoyable about walking in most of those areas.
As for facebook im on the Nevada big game hunters site and a chucker hunter posted a week or 2 ago about missing his dog. Long stort short found the next morning in a trap cold bit no injuries, not a bad word was posted about trappers in the thread. It's unfortunate the law won't do anything to this thief. They need to push for the blm and the rest of the country to be an idiot free zone. The traps aren't the problem.
United we stand,divided we fall.

I'm in Nevada and we are huge on not letting people steal our traps. She'll get busted, she literally just posted her crime.

"Poor young coyote.... they were here first!" I wonder if she would say the same thing if a coyote killed some of her chickens? Hmm...

Seems to me she is breaking the law by tampering with some one else’s traps. Plus, if she has the trap, she is in possession of stolen property.
Hope they catch her and punish her for the laws SHE broke. Should be easy since she posted it on a Public forum. Stupid is as stupid does. I'd like a follow up story to see if she was charged?

Meaning she likely works for someone in the hunting or shooting industry. Would be a shame if we were to play by her own rules and let her employer know that she public posted about being proud of hunter harassment.

She claims the traps were not tagged. If this is truly the case, she will get in no trouble, and the trapper should be admonished. I hope they were stamped with the DNR numbers or something. What’s to say she didn’t remove the tags herself so she can claim the traps were not tagged. Wouldn’t put it past some one like her. Just saying……..

I agree but in the replies the BLM found several other traps in the same area that were untagged, plus the stolen one and the one with the fox in it.... I'm not saying that is the truth, it is what she claimed. I hope that is a lie, or this trapper just gave us a black-eye.
