The Southern border that is since it is once again being closed. Any of you stop trapping it in the last four years?

Yes. Not cause of Biden border policy but because Big D says you have to be a member of a federally recognized indian tribe to trap BLM in NM. AZ is cages only and CA been closed for a long time. I could get some permission in NM but most of that country is public. To catch enough to cover expenses you have to cover a big area. A few hundred acres here and there wont work.

Agreed NM is not the place to come to trap.

Arizona is cages only on public land not private land.

Well Bruce, you run out there and make it work for you. I am tired of AR lunacy. AZ like NM is pretty much urban or public. A few exceptions. Most ranches can not exist without grazing allotments on BLM and national forest. They have only a few hundred acres of deeded ground. If your going to make it pay you need to get on the few huge ranchs. You need to cover a lot of ground. Most of the private property is not good cat habitat. That rough and wooly stuff is public.

dont forget to buy 4-5 dozen of these and trailer to haul them on tough enough to go down two tracks

I think that may be Federal public land. ^^^^^^^^^^

I believe NY State has a lot of State public land?
Percent public land per State

Be nice if locals could pick up ball the garbage left behind near the border. Seems like every inch of the terrain is covered in backpacks, old shoes, sleeping bags and other garbage.
