The way I interpret the following is that if you are doing ADC work you don't need a trapping license. But steeltraps and Mark June are 2 off the top of my head that have experience trapping here and would know better than me. From the TPWD website Quote Landowners or their agents may take nuisance fur-bearing animals in any number by any means at any time on that person's land without the need for a hunting or trapping license. However, fur-bearing animals or their pelts taken for these purposes may not be retained or possessed by anyone at any time except licensed trappers during the lawful open season and possession periods.

I will be turkey hunting in south Texas and just thought I could do some trapping while I was there as well.

If born After 1970 or so you will need hunter’s education card WITH you when trapping coyotes The fur rules dont apply to ADC work. Texas Game Wardens are great!!!! They actually LIKE people from out of state that trap coyotes!!!!

Game Warden here. Now he is back in law enforcement somewhere. Once said = I dont see how you can properly run over 100 traps in summer time. Even though laws says 150 ? He showed more concern over = over heated coyotes than anything. Had to bite my tongue. Want to say = Your opinion is NOT law! But most southern GWs are great folks. But as liberals creep into everything it worries me about the future.
