I disagree. This story is just one example of the interactions between trappers and the general public. Last year I encountered a conibear trap on the side of a historic trail, right beside a mile marker. Completely unethical. And yet absolutely legal. My dogs were hooked up and in harness. They still could have gotten caught in it if I hadn't noticed it and quickly acted to avoid it. I don't travel on some trails in the winter because of wolf traps and conibears right on the trail. These trails receive public money for the summer maintenance. The trappers do not maintain these trails. They were not originally built by trappers. My activity does not negatively impact them. How is this reasonable management?
