Best Management Practices (BMPs)

The Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies (AFWA) has developed a set of Best Management Practices for trapping.

• These guidelines:
  • Identify the best equipment and practices that can be used to trap furbearers.
  • Address the welfare of captured animals.
  • Focus on the safest, most efficient, most humane, and most practical trapping techniques.
