Proposed Rule to extend maximum trap check time for wolf snares in Units 7 and 9 during winter.
Currently trappers are required to check all snares or traps placed for gray wolves at least once every 72 hours and remove any catch therein.
| The intent of this proposed rule is to extend the time period by which any person must visit every snare placed for gray wolves and remove any catch therein such that the time period between checks does not exceed 192 hours (8 days) for specific units and time of year. The proposed rule extends the time period between snare checks only in that portion of Game Management Unit 7 including and upstream from the Gold Creek and Mosquito Creek drainages, and in Game Management Unit 9, and only within the period January 1 – February 15.

This heartless and inhumane practice needs to end. Wolves are endangered and need and deserve protection instead of allowing them to be tortured for longer periods of time to facilitate human laziness. It’s time for government organizations to get off the desk chair and get out in the field to protect our brothers and sisters from hunters and trappers.
Murder is wrong and more torture is worse! A true trapper would not want the animal to suffer more.
