Respect Hunters and Outdoor Users

Thousands of people trap. Millions of people enjoy other outdoor activities. Make sure you behave responsibly toward other outdoor users.

• Ask landowners if others might be on their property during trapping season. Take steps to avoid conflicts with other land users.
• Do not set traps in areas where hunters are likely to be hunting with dogs.
• Check traps early in the morning to remove animals before they might be found by dogs or people.
• Avoid alcohol and drugs before or during a trapping event.
• Wear hunter orange to ensure hunters can see you and identify you as a person.
