I hope the dream is a reality the planning and living the dream before it happens is what makes life interesting. I wish you well! Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

Were are you planning on going ? The Navajo nation DOES allow trapping of bobcats but they only issue 25 non-Navajo trapping permits. If I remember correctly, if there are more than 25 non-Navajos that apply for a trapping permit they do a draw just like they do for big game. They also reserve the right to select non-Navajo trappers based on references or previous years harvest reports that you are required to complete at the end of the season. The ranch that I have been trapping this year is surrounded by the Navajo nation.
