This is total BS, I've seen a few signs on FS land for wolves which is illegal. No one to hold them accountable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually not illegal when you're the government. Who's holding who accountable for what? For the government to trap wolves that they put out there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where I've have seen these signs they had leg hold traps which they have to follow state law. I was assuming they had leg holds set out on the OP's post. There I go assuming.

Except pets aren’t wildlife. The sign specifics wildlife…I read it as not taking the fox, bobcat, or whatever is in the trap for the fur, etc. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baiting is illegal, but how do you think the AZGFD catches turkeys for transplants? How do you think the AZGFD catch lions and bears for their studies on federal and state land? The answer is snares and leg hold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good to know they are okay with a person rescuing his/her pet. Eddie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They do as they please. And the law states they can. I've literally found their foothold traps on national forest behind these signs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
