I plan on targeting everything this year I plan on trying my hand at tanning and trading the fur for finished goods that one of my good friend makes. She is willing as long as the end product is good enough. I don't mind covering my floors with coon rugs and beaver blankets on every piece of furniture. I will trap and enjoy myself doing it. If season is open and you have a plan then get em

Used to live near a mink ranch in Northern WI back in the 70's. Fox were pelted in mid Nov. Mink were always pelted at Thanksgiving. Catching fur before that becomes a waste of the resource. I skinned for a fox farmer they kept all their fox In sheds and kept them In the dark. That messed with their biological clock. It's the same with mink. It's the length of the days (day light) that trigger primness. It has nothing to do with cold weather.

I caught 3 last year that I had to release. Not that much fun. Hoping it doesn't happen again since I didn't draw a tag this year.
57 years trapping. It's who I am. Every day is still as exciting as it was when I was a kid but a little more work.

I guess I am not sure why we would need zones if we are going to open and close on the same day so leaning towards misprint.
Last I heard at the WCC fur harvest committee was the proposal for zones and dates that passed spring hearing was moving forward and should be in place for next year.

Here is the response i received from Scott.
Yes it is an error. The dates should be as follows:
- The south zone should open on the Saturday on, or the first Saturday following November 1, and should close on March 15.
- The Central zone should open on the Saturday on, or the first Saturday following October 25, and should close on March 22.
- The Northern zone should open on the Saturday on, or the first Saturday following October 18, and should close on April 15.
- Maintain current Mississippi zone including start and close dates (beginning on the second Monday in November or the day after the close of the duck season in the Southern Zone, whichever
