EHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh!

I was wrong. I can say it , I generally own it. I thought I was saying I found reference that it was 4am to 8pm check in 2016
I was definitly wrong for 2020 2021 2022 2023
it I had old information stuck in my head

our WI regs have changed more in the last 10 years than the previous 30 and lots of changes in the last few , they keep trying to make the general hunting regs book shorter and shorter , they actually make mistakes will not change them double down and in once case with regard to shot the state legislature passed a law saying if your hunting fur bearers you may carry any size shot , because they made anything larger than BB or T illegal for shooting coyotes if there was any bird season on at all.

Just an update....we did catch not one but 2 more foxes! So total of 3 so far. And one bobcat. Is it Nirmal for bobcats to come this close to a barn and people?? I thought they were more shy and reclusive?

@ GREENCOUNTYPETE
No problem, thanks for the info .... I know WIDNR has been changing how they published regs the past years, combining them to reduce paper; but not without creating inadvertent and unintended consequences. Just wanted to check that I wasn't missing something for this year.
I wasn't trapping during the 2010-2020 period due to work travel, so wasn't aware of those hours changes in those years.



Yup, it's a matter of risk vs reward for FOOD to any predator. If I was living of the land, I know I'd rather have a grouse than a mouse.

Bobcats are drawn to structure, if there's buildings pray and couple that with some brush or trees that can be very inviting. Don't worry about scaring the other fox of , there very competitive, I used to live trap fox in the summer heat . In order to get through my whole line before it got to hot I'd start running my line 3 to 4 hours before day break then I'd go right back and run the first part of the line that I'd run before light. I've caught as many as 4 fox rerunning the line . In 2001 about 5 days before the 9 11 attack I was checking sets just before day light I pulled up to a set near a silage pit with a fox, with the headlights on and the yota still running i wentl to colect my fox as I put the catch pole on the fox I see another fox coming down the field road toward me and his buddy. He hopped up on a Boulder on the side of the road and watched. I took the first fox to the box in the yota grabbed the pack basket and went to reset the trap the other fox watching the whole time just setting on that Boulder, I returned to the truck sat in the seat closed door quietly and washed the fox trot to the dirt hole set the fox went to the back of the set first and dug a little, then swung around to the front of the set the fox was quartering away slightly when it reached for the bait, I was close enough to see the dirt fly up when te fox placed its paw on the pan of that 1 and 1/2 Victor soft catch pan . The fox just pulled back and laid down then it rolled ones and looked at me as to say come get me lol that was my first set of my first line in that part of wyoming wich is now about 10 miles from what I call home.
