70 Moving traps and legislation
In this episode I touch on a couple of legislation items that have come up recently, a potential trap ban in Kentucky, as well as some anti-gun legislation in my home state of Georgia.\xa0 The National Trappers Association alerted my to the Kentucky legislation
The Sportsmen\u2019s Alliance the Georgia gun bill.\xa0 Odds are these bills won\u2019t get much traction, but the fact remains, the anti\u2019s are still active and looking for any opportunity to capitalize where they can.\xa0 That is why we need to support these organizations and contact our legislators to let them know where we stand when issues like this arise.\xa0 I also mention an article written by Christy Plott, https://shoptalk-magazine.com/, discussing the harms of banning exotic leather, which has plenty of similarities to fur.\xa0
I finally get into the meat of a few questions I\u2019ve fielded lately concerning when to move traps, of course that all depends on your objectives and what species you are targeting.\xa0 But there are some general guidelines that can help you get started.\xa0
One of my final thoughts, I\u2019ve been thinking of doing a fiction series, sort of an adventure trapping story.\xa0 I guess I\u2019m missing the writing I used to do.\xa0\xa0 If that is something you would be interested in listening to please let me know!
