330s must be completely submurged. Many times an unnecessary PIA.

No conibear traps away from a watercourse. That means no leaning post sets in the woods for fisher or coon


TILL THAT DAY.....

The cable restraint. I rather snare a coyote and have it dead when I check,the Woke Wisconsin dnr won't let ya do it There no good reason why we have to go to leanths to make the dog comfy.

Guss, I wonder if that was when hunting with dogs was more prevalent. We have the same laws in Missouri and that is what I was told

No bait or lure outside of trapping season. Makes damage control tough


Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

In ks when you turn 65 you still need a hunting fishing trapping license. Didnt use to be that way. You can buy a 40 dollar lifetime hunting and fishing license but trapping is still full price

Beaver only snares.

We need the Collarum Device but anything with cable that is not a beaver snare is illegal and our trappers association will lynch you for talking about it.

Cage traps only and still a 24 hour check law. Not explicitly a 24 hour check, but the law states any captured animal must be removed within 24 hours. We have 72 hour checks on lethal sets(submerged sets or koro rat traps).

No hanging of snares for any purpose. Exceptions are 100% submerged or cable restraints.
I just want to run partially submerged for beaver where theft is a concern.


Just happy to be here.

No Non Resident Trapping.

Our fishing laws are just as dumb.

We can only pick one? I would have to say posting trap signs on public land.
