With the cat prices out west, I’m sure the out of staters will be flocking out west to get some of that big cat money. It’s the modern day gold rush. With that being said, what are some good tips for anyone wanting to try out of state trapping. I’ve never done it personally but I’d like to know where you even start. Obviously you need a place to trap, that’s the most important thing. Do you just go out where you’d like to trap and start knocking on doors? Is there a lot of public state land in the west?

There is a lot of public land. Nevada is like 85% public land. Utah like 60%. Most of the states out west are at least 30%

Teddy, check the state's DNR trapping laws that'll help out with some basics. Housing, permission, etc... are the stumbling blocks. IF you can find landowners that will pay you to trap predators or problem critters while you are targeting 'cats...so much the better.
