Florida is in the process of bringing trapping back. Please leave your comments in support.

Couldn't get link to work, so....

It sounds like they don't really want the public's input, "Florida Trapping Public Unput". grin

FWC is the one that's using BMPs as a guide to attempt to re-instate efficient trapping in Florida.

Was going to post my "input" but then realized it was "unput" desired.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

I only have a small dog in this fight.

I've done two beaver jobs in north Florida in 10 years...and had to apply for a special permit to use bodygrips and footholds. I was able to obtain the permit.....just took a month to get it.

If FWC gets these reg changes passed......trappers will be able to use BMP-approved traps and get the job done....without special permits.

Done. Florida seems like it's on the right path to restoring some common sense hunting and trapping seasons.

For those that don't know...Florida is currently one of a handful of states that CANNOT use steel trap (footholds, bodygrips, or DPs) except with a special permit.

FWC is attempting to "fix" this by instituting trapping regs based on BMPs. If passed, this will allow regulated use of these steel traps in Florida again.

Everyone on Tman should take the time to do the survey and comment....in the name of supporting trapping.

It will be historic for Florida trappers to get their traps back.

Hopefully the notion of managing wildlife based on scientific data will prevail. No management is bad management. Kudos to Florida Fish & Game for coming to the table.

I just finished it. Pretty interesting.
Sure makes me realize how good we trappers have it here in Iowa.

20-25 minutes? I spent an hour and I'm just a DIY ADC-my-own-place trapper.

I don't think they were enforcing the word limits. I wrote some long stuff.
