1. Mink and Muskrat seasons linked together...I believe mink season should be with 'coon and other land animals. Currently, Mink and Muskrat goes out Jan 8 while you can trap 'coon until Feb 19. 2. The safety zone for trapping and gun hunting are the same. Therefore, I cannot set a bottom edge mink set with a 150 Bridger without the permission of every residence within 150 yards. 3. Beaver traps that are limited to a 6.5" jaw spread. Should be unlimited size if trap is underwater. 4. Body Grips of ANY size must be set within a waterway. It sure would be nice to run those leaning pole sets for fishers where the trap is wayyyy off the ground. 5. Fisher and Bobcat seasons start the same date but Fisher stops a week earlier. Why can't they give us that extra week? Would it make that much of a difference. 6. As other PA'ers have mentioned, an Otter season in the middle of February when, traditionally, every body of water is very locked up with ice.
That's enough for now....

Houndhunters are one of the trappers worst enemy. You’re painting with a pretty wide brush, Boco.

Not being allowed to keep or use or sell any beaver or part of one that has been caught doing damage control. You are supposed to leave or dispose of it on site. It would seem to me then you are performing wanton waste and littering at the same time so in essence you would be violating two other laws in order to comply with one.

Houndhunters are one of the trappers worst enemy. You’re painting with a pretty wide brush, Boco. Is every hounds men an anti?No.But as a group I'd say he's dead nuts on.My experience has been even the ones that profess unity with us take a dim view of us or our regs privately.Those cable restraint regs in our state,which can't get anymore restrictive with out an out right ban,were brought on by the houndsmen.And those regs are for private property,setting on public land is prohibited.I've yet to meet a hounds men who actually liked these regs,they went along with them because that's all they could get.They'd just as soon see them outlawed totally like they were in the past.

I agree with Boco and I'll take it a step further. They are no friend to a still hunter or landowner. They are the most unethical hunters on the planet. The hound hunter’s prayer…Forgive me Lord for I hunt with hounds. My ethics are the absolute worst on the planet. I pray that you will look past my flaws because I’m a trapper too! Amen.
