So if you are coming before December 31 and staying after that date you may need to get a new license after New Year.......unless that has been changed. Just a FYI to check on I just checked and you are correct. NRA,NTA,MTA,FTA Proud member of NTA

Just a FYI to check on I just checked and you are correct. If you need to buy 2 licenses you may as well stay for the full 2 years and get your moneys worth. By then you would be a resident so there would be no reason to leave. I have nothing clever to put here.

The area you are heading into has a very convoluted mish mash of land ownership and rules about who can trap where and with specific permits in some instances. Be absolutely certain that you have all your paperwork lined out AND that your "guide' knows where those lines are and also knows exactly where you are at all times Mean As Nails

But the boundary of the preserve is also the National Park boundary. You will not be legal under federal law to hunt/trap in the Park. Some of that boundary is close to McCarthy. I imagine you have experienced below 0 temps. Have you experienced 40 below? 50 below? Have you experienced below 0 for 3 weeks straight? How about short daylight? McCarthy is in the mountains. Daylight will very short. Maines daylight is short in late Dec, early Jan. But nothing like McCarthy! I sincerely hope you won't be left to run traps by yourself.

Quote Thanks will do.I might be trapping with someone you know named Jim Gieb.Not certain but in the works.He now lives in and traps that area for years now since retiring and moving there. You spelled the name wrong. Jim and Lori Geib. Oregon Trappers association. has a podcast with them. Originally from Maine. Likely be in good hands with them.
