Course Outline

Hunting and trapping laws are passed in various ways:

  • In most states, a wildlife management agency sets hunting and trapping regulations.
  • These agencies allow the public to voice concerns and make suggestions during regularly scheduled meetings. If you wish to propose changes to trapping regulations, participate in these meetings.
  • Another way to help influence trapping laws is to join a trapping group.
