traper theif nevada

seen this on fb so lets make her famous

Seems to me she is breaking the law by tampering with some one else’s traps. Plus, if she has the trap, she is in possession of stolen property.

Hope they catch her and punish her for the laws SHE broke. Should be easy since she posted it on a Public forum.

Someone there has to follow up on this and not let her get away with it... if the trap was legally set. Are trap tags required there?

She sounds like an expert in wildlife biology to me. How else was she able to diagnose that it was a "juvenile" coyote that she found in a leg trap?

Yes, trap tags are required. Either a paid for number or Name and address

Unfortunately with the laws nothing will be done, its now legal to trip traps in Nevada if there is immediate threat. Might be able to get her for theft but i doubt they even try. As for the blm they'll just push to make a trap free zone. This may have been in one but not sure of those zonez in vegas area. She should move back east, after seeing the trash in the mountains around Vegas don't know what would be enjoyable about walking in most of those areas.

As for facebook im on the Nevada big game hunters site and a chucker hunter posted a week or 2 ago about missing his dog. Long stort short found the next morning in a trap cold bit no injuries, not a bad word was posted about trappers in the thread.

WTH, She is a marine man, and attends shot show.

IF anybody knows the owner, the appropriate law is NRS 8194;501.3765, and there are more than that, it's definitely allowed on BLM land.

I'm in Nevada and we are huge on not letting people steal our traps. She'll get busted, she literally just posted her crime.

She claims the traps were not tagged. If this is truly the case, she will get in no trouble, and the trapper should be admonished. I hope they were stamped with the DNR numbers or something.

What’s to say she didn’t remove the tags herself so she can claim the traps were not tagged. Wouldn’t put it past some one like her. Just saying……..

"Poor young coyote.... they were here first!" I wonder if she would say the same thing if a coyote killed some of her chickens? Hmm...

He should be admonished for that janky staking system. Lol.

I hate thieves

Do you guys think it's possible in Nevada trap tags aren't required?

Yes trap tags are required in Nevada

It sounds like the whole thing was staged to me.

Here you go did a quick serch. And this is what I found on it.

Each trap, snare, or similar device used to take wild mammals must either be stamped with the trapper’s name and address or registered with the Department. Each registered trap snare or similar device must bear a number which is assigned by the Department and is clearly stamped on the trap, snare, or similar device or on a metal tag that is attached to the trap, snare, or similar device. There is a $5 fee for each trap, snare, or similar device registered with the Department. If a trap, snare, or similar device is not registered with the Department, it must have the name and address of the person who owns the trap, snare, or similar device clearly stamped on the trap, snare, or similar device, or on a metal tag that is attached to the trap, snare, or similar device. These registration provisions do not apply to a trap, snare, or similar device used exclusively on private property which is posted or fenced in accordance with NRS 207.200.

(Refer to NRS 503.452 and NAC 503.150)

This they have the option of a tag or stamping their trap

I zoomed in on the trap photos but can see no trap tags on it, it could of been real close to the trap or stamped on, or they took it off. Says DNR found several other traps in the area in the replies to her post. I hope they were legally set traps.

Several of our guys are giving her guff now. They tagged the DNR our there too, so they can see it. Kinda puts them on the spot.

ADC- Does Iowa government require trap tags? And are you guys ever going to get to hunt deer with rifles in Iowa? I heard southwest Minnesota is starting to be allowed to hunt with longer range firearms. Let Freedom ring!!

Yes, unfortunately they still require trap tags on all traps with name and address. There is no reason what-so-ever for them to require tags, especially with name and address. Trap tags are simply a revenue getter for the DNR, they prove nothing. The tags don't prove you own the trap & they don't prove you set the trap. There is ZERO reason for anyone to ever touch a legally set trap, EVER! Not the DNR or anyone else. If the trap is set illegally, the tag won't prove who set it there, unless the DNR sets on it and sees you tending to it, they have no proof you set it. The tag law also requires traps in your vehicle to be tagged, whether or not you are going to set it. They love writing fines for untagged traps in your truck. I had them dig through a pile of over 200 tagged traps (pull day) to find two that coons had ripped off the tags so they could write up me and buddy for it back when I was about 18-20 years old.

Wow, that's sort of sad!

When I was an undergrad, I started off in wildlife science but by the end of my sophomore year, I decided "do I really want to chase people down for shooting ducks ten minutes after official sunset?" I decided not. I would be embarrassed to dig through 200 pulled traps to find 1% that had no tag and write up a ticket. Just don't have that sort of mentality that every law is equal to every other one. Just watch some of what the cops are doing in Canada and Aussie land enforcing the current situation "laws" when it turns out that the "v is going to v" and all the stupid repressive actions doesn't change a thing.

Why not? We have 2 game wardens here in MN who will gladly do it.

With that kind of attitude you might have made a good warden afterall.

Yeah 20scout maybe but how long would they have kept me around if I was hitting my quota of tickets...? I guess warnings count for some brownie point metrics as well.
