Default Getting trapping permission on crown land that is not part of a RFMA

Hey guys,

Was wondering if any of you guys have heard of anyone getting permission to trap on crown land that is not part of an RFMA? I swear I have heard something about this but my local fish and game office doesn't seem to know anything about it.

If it is lease land the lease holder can give permission. Other wise you can get permission from the local biologist.

Thanks Mike. That's what I thought and that is what I told them. But they had no idea. Guess I will just have to keep trying.

Trapping on lease not in RFMA.

1-Make sure not in RFMA, otherwise big trouble.
2-Written permissions from leaseholder.
3-Written permission from bio.

In the rare case where a lease holder denies access for trapping,
Document everything. date and times you attempted or made contact.
Reasons given denying access etc. Everything.

Once You have a few weeks worth of discussions and no access granted, take all of this information to land person (I think they are called AOP's). They will take it from there, and if they cannot negotiate access, THEY will give You the written permission. Start this process early (August) if You know there will be issues.

Like all other issues with fish and wild life/ bio's, its stupidly tied to one persons opinion..

The bio's where I live refuse to give a trapper acess to trap crown land that's not part of a RFMA.. I know lots who try, but everyone gets denied.


Reminds me of the same issue with a residential trapper accidentily catching a fisher.. Some FandW office's allow the residential trapper to keep it, others refuse.

****es me off..
