Be a Responsible Trapper
The future of trapping depends on public acceptance. If the public thinks trappers are irresponsible or inhumane, all trapping could be outlawed. By following a code of ethics, you will help protect the privilege to trap by trapping responsibly.
To be a responsible trapper, you should show respect toward five key groups:
- The furbearer and other wildlife
- Landowners
- The public
- Hunters and other outdoor users
- Other trappers
