Just in case for those that hadn't heard the court case that has been going on to try to get non resident trapping allowed in Mn has been decided and denied by the judge hearing the case. Some will be happy some upset I would fall into the latter category.

Nothing to do with biology totally political, Minnesota had 3 times the amount of trappers during the late 70's and early eighties and the resource didn't suffer.

We are the only state in the country that doesn't have some form of nr trapping the amount of people coming into trap would not be noticeable, I think Wisconsin had less than 50 last year.

As it sits now Minnesota residents are unable to travel to many states to trap because of reciprocal laws (all border states).

With the pre season price forecast, chances are not a lot interest from non residents. I am also not in favor of the non resident trapping license, feel there are enough of us already to manage the resource. I know it's tough if you live close to the border to not be able to cross.

Maybe if they trapped the "nonresidents" at the boarder we wouldn't need a Judge to decide! smirk

Well, that was just my first thought when I read the post title! wink

NR can trap in Minnesota! have you read the regs?

Yes I have read the regs, I am pretty sure the plaintiffs from mn and several other states along with their lawyer in this case did also before filing suit. Hunter Lee's post is correct.

This law will get changed sooner or later its not going to go away.

No reason to allow NR trapping.

I disagree

No reason not to......

The only other state that shares Minnesota's asinine anti non-resident trapping law is Hawaii....... and oh yeah, Washington DC too crazy

On a related note, I lived in Wisonsin for 25 years and still own land there.

I now live in the nanny state and I cannot trap there (WI)..... because Minnesota doesn't let Wisconsinites trap here (MN) crazy

Good job Minnesota........ the Great State of 10,000 LAWS

      Problems with Yetti

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
