Wyoming allows unlimited trapping quotas on its furbearing animals, as well as year-round unlimited take of its predatory animals, with no requirement for a trapping license. Traps are legal on all public trails in the National Forest. Trappers aren’t responsible for harm to a dog caught in their traps. Pelts can be exported overseas. And a conservation stamp is not required. Why are hunters and fishermen limited to quotas and areas for their activities, but trappers have few restrictions?
Yes, we need to take a hard look at wildife management in Wyoming, and reform our antiquated trapping regulations.
