I received another trapper survey today, this one from our DEC, the previous one from Cornell a few days ago. They are primarily geared about fisher, but there are also questions about other species as well.There is a large concentration of questions about how many traps you had set, how many nights were they set, and how many animals you caught.We have been burned before by these surveys, using carefully worded to justify changes DEC already had in the works. These questionaires are very similar in the questions. I worry that the trappers responses would be used to justify changes possibly in season dates, season lengths, or catch limits to name just a few. I urge all New York trappers to not respond and BEWArE !

Al, if we had any leadership in the NYSTA, they would request a meeting with the furbearer unit to discuss what the survey hopes to accomplish. That's a really, really, really big IF, mike. Unfortunately, we don't have any leadership. NYS trappers are adrift with nobody steering a course. w

I am in agreement with both of you. NYSTA leadership is disappointing. Where is the JTI Committee.? All I hear is that they are waiting on DEC. We need to be proactive, not reactive. Does your association have meetings you can go to and voice your concerns?

NYSTA has quarterly meetings, but rarely do any members come other than officers and directors. Meetings are open to all members/ Well there ya go. Those meetings are the place to start.

If we don't fill out our Fur Report...how many traps set
How many nights
What we caught and where..
No report...no new trapping license..until report is received
It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.
