What is your states Regulations/Laws regarding large body grip traps??

Iowa is entirely under water.

Halfway

Completely submerged in Ohio

Alaska has an upper size limit but doesn't restrict placement except in specific areas. 13 inch spread max for body grip but 330s are around 10".

Here in NY it depends on which DEC Officer you ask. lol. Seriously I would like to know the legal answer.

Half under in Va.

Completely submerged 72 hr check.

Half submerged if beaver trapping, 24 hour check

Fully submerged extends it to a 72 hour check

Need consent to place within 500 yards of occupied buildings and need to check every 72 hours. No regulations involving submergence.

Fully submerged in CT
24 HR check

In Georgia they must be within 10 feet of water.

Completely underwater for anything bigger than 7" jaw spread.

Anything bigger than 5" needs to be either completely submerged or at least 6' off the ground, on land controlled by Nebraska game and parks.

Under water or 4ft off the ground in michigan. And coon cubbies 4ft. Off the ground dont seem to work.

In Oregon some portion of the trap must be submerged except in tidewater where it must be placed lower than the high water mark. 48 hour check. I helped write the new regs and was instrumental in getting the tidewater part in there. Also the provision that water levels may drop but you’re still legal if you reset the trap according to the regs on each check.

A 330 is not required to be completely under water here. The Reg states that a trap larger than 5.5” between the hinges CAN BE SET 1/2 SUBMERGED to be qualified in the water.

In Utah 330's are unrestricted except on four rivers. On portions of the Green, Colorado, Escalante and Provo they can only be set with a single trigger positioned vertically within one inch of one side. This restriction is designed to protect river otters which are totally protected in Utah.

Maine is as well entirely under water
