For you Idaho Trapper’s that aren’t ITA members and don’t recieve my monthly emails. What units do you have wolves in that need to have trapping opened? What restrictions are hampering you? I’m gathering info to work with fish and game commissioners. Thanks Rusty

I would love to go up for a week and target but there are too few trapping classes.

If your a Nevada resident they won’t let you trap wolves here due to Nevada’s nonresident laws.

Well there goes that dream. I wont hunt there either then.

If Nevada allowed nonresidents to trap then you would be able to

We do just not bobcats or otters

Or grey fox

Rusty- I am pretty sure there is no restriction on the wolf trapping as far as non-residents go

Unit 22 would be my choice just because I elk hunt there and know my way around. See and hear plenty of wolf sign too. It's currently private land trapping only. My guess is that is because 22 is also managed as a trophy bear unit so maybe they're trying to avoid incidental bears and/or bear hounds. If that's the case I get it. Hound hunters need their space too.

Speaking of wolf trapping classes, they may need another bug in their ear about that. Currently there are no available classes listed. Some times people need to plan ahead to get to them.

Rusty, 11A. Wolves getting more common in some of the bigger canyons. It's pretty much all private so that could be an easy concession if needed. I think there are some ranchers who would love to season open especially if there were a few locals that were willing to try trapping them.

Squaw valley7, we are clarifying the reciprocity rules next year

On the certification classes in Idaho, call one of the regional offices or headquarters in Boise and request a class. I believe they need a minimum of 8 people on the list, and a class will be arranged.

Rusty, kudos to you for working together with F4WM. My suggestion would be get the word out on this organization. They are doing great work in controlling the wolf population. Keep after em!

I would love to help out but the logistics are a roadblock for me.

And Jack is the man to take the class from! Thanks again for an amazing class.

Rusty, you're already working on a couple of our eastern Idaho units thanks to working with us at USRTI. I would recommend anything that isn't open up North and Central. Thanks for all you're doing for our association and Idaho trappers alike.

Nick

RP Martin, yep I talked Justin Webb on being on our board of directors so now we work closely with F4WM
