buglethemin Report post Posted November 23, 2009 I found an old predator trap, this September during the archery elk hunt in the flats near winslow. Its all rusted out but was able to see, Property of The United States Govt. Any ideas how old this may be? Any reasons why it would be labled Propert of USG.? Wonder how long ago they were doing trapping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rogeti Report post Posted November 23, 2009 Its labeled United States Government, because most likely it is one of the Government trappers trap. My cousin is a government trapper. They trap lions, bears, and pretty much any predator that is on peoples property killing livestock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
