GREEN HORNS, listen in the class, and learn. don't try to figure ways to get around the laws. We can catch plenty with our regs, we do not need to break laws to catch fur. Matter fact our snaring laws are some of the best in the nation except for TX and Mississippi. Coni's it is real simple 160's 120's and 110's are all you can use with out a beaver /otter permit. they must be cover by water in non tide water. NO CONI"S FOR **** except for in tide water and even then you better understand what you are doing or real problems will happen. PLEASE DO NOT SET BUCKET SETS FOR ****. Being a trapper is not being lazy or taking the easy way, it is learning the animals and what they do. I told a guy the other day if you want to be a good trapper go out now and follow tracks, look for sign and say to your self, where will the animal be every time it come into this area? do look for a spot, That the question is, I wonder if the animal will come to this spot? trapping is a slow learning thing for most, there are those who are GOD GIVEN into trapping but they are far and few between. And remember high population means good numbers, low population means low numbers. can't catch what is not there, so you have to go to the fur! Not pull the fur to you. also there are 2 conventions coming Oct 5th North Jersey and Nov 2 South Jersey If you want to learn go to Both. You boys in the north can be down here in 2 hours, I can be up there in 2 hours. I will be at both just to learn myself. I will be giving a demo on baited snare sets up north so you don't have to use buckets.
