The MTA minority needs to get on board or be voted out!

We surveyed trappers to get their opinions on several regulatory issues and to measure trapper effort as part of our
otter/bobcat harvest study. We attempted to survey both regular and occasional trappers by randomly selecting our
pool of trappers from those that purchased permits in each of the last three years and from those that purchased
permits only 1 of the last three years. The overall selection was made up of:
a. Those who purchased 3 out of 5 years – 924 (46.20%)
b. Those who purchased 4 out of 5 years – 503 (25.15%)
c. Those who purchased 5 out of 5 years – 573 (28.65%)
Overall 77% of trappers were very or somewhat satisfied with the current furbearer management program,
respondents were split when polled about the current trapping season length but a clear majority favored lengthening
the regular trapping season to 20 February. A majority of trappers reported using cable restraints and supported a
mandatory training session prior to a person using them. Most respondents did not support mandatory trapper
education. Survey questions and responses are summarized below
