Read a couple days ago in the game laws that the DP's are legal with a pull trigger. Also some new wording on the relaxing lock. Also saw a paragraph that it is illegal to leave a carcuss on state or private land without permission.
Your very fortunate, some year I'll get out of here lolThis year I'm going to concentrate on three furbearers I've never targeted before ... beaver, coyote, & bobcat. [up]
Got a lot to learn ... old dog, new tricks (& traps).
Please..not everyone traps hard, not everyone traps the same way, and not everyone traps the same species. 47 ***** last year, 67 the year before and have sold FOUR of those and it's not because of poor grades. Most are graded SEL and I's. I don't trap for the money but I know that if I have $1.00 I can't spend $1.50. I ain't no wildlife manager, I'm a trapper that ain't targeting **** this year. As long as your are within the regs, trap how you wishIf we stopped targeting species because we were not going to get paid good enough for it - would we really be the wildlfe managers that we are? Population control through sustainable harvest is one of our primary missions. If you trap for the money you should look for a new job, for the most part.
Also the DPs are pull only as previously stated. Do your research and be responsible. Find where the ***** are and catch em quick. Don't just lay and pray. Know where your target is, get your goal within 5 nights and move on. Stay away from people and places with people. It is extremely important we get this right and that we demonstrate that this very effective tool will help us achieve our overall goal which is, a sustainable harvest while providing the greater community with nuisiance relief and disease vector control.
And I will save you the drive, I be the trap watchman ! Got Fur, Make Call..... LMAOthe only **** I will be targeting this year will be a couple nusiance spots that I been asked to do some population control on. at least it will give me a chance to try the new dp's out and help some people out at the same time. my normal **** spots I am leaving alone again this year. I think last year I kept 6 or some low number like that and one of those 6 I didnt bring home, a friend checked one of my sets, dispatched it, skinned, fleshed and boarded it then dropped it off at my house. thanks john I will trap with you anytime. [rofl] the rest were released.
Dukes are the only ones I know are legal. the only ones ive really played with.There are so many dp traps... descriptions are vague when trying to purchase..
Some say 2 way trigger (which I think are illigal cause that means push and pull operated)
Some say 1 way trigger, but it doesn't say weather it is push or pull (nj only allows pull, correct? )
Which brands are nj legal?
