Can you legaly put a 220 conibear in a homemade box (cubby set) in southern mn. I came across a couple last year hunting one on land and one at the edge of the ice.

Thanks,Jack

Need to know if your still going to trap at the farm this year?? Need to know cause a couple trappers stopped by with permission slips this morning asking...Told them to stop back and ask again was waiting to talk to you..Told them we had someone who had asked late last year so you got 1st dibs..Also need to know if your going to trap all the ditches from farm to farm..Or just the 3/4 mile ditch that had water in it last fall..Need to thin those coon out bad..The pond off black top will be off limits this year..Going to try and keep the ducks and geese around for the handy capped guy for a couple shoot outs..once ice forms you may trap it again sorry

[rappin jack]

YES,I would like to trap the whole thing its going to be a good year if it stays this wet.$$$$$$$$$$$$$

thanks again,
jack

P.S. I already took a weeks vacation just to pile them up!

You CANNOT set a body gripping trap with a jaw opening greater than 6 1/2" in or within 3' of a culvert unless completely submerged as a waterset! Just an FYI! But you can use one in front of a homemade cubby. I would recommend that if you make your own cubby sets that you set the trap back a good six inches just so you don't catch a hunters dog!
Good luck trapping!

Thanks for the info guys!!!!!!!

P.S. do pails work for cubbys?

[eyesontonka]

Well jack looks like you got your work cut out...Wonder who made the brite law not trapping dry culverts when all ares are plugged tight from coons!

jack i'll check with the dnr to see if a permit could be issued..need to clean out the tile lines and every other culvert some how..Wonder how dnr will responde to this 1..probly tell us to dig new tile lines and leave the water along the road ways since the field driveways are pluged up..

[rappin jack]

Eyeballs I hear ya they wont even let you dig your own pond deeper so it doesnt dry up! How many duck and geese do you see sitting on a dry pond? Its not right and they wont listen to people like us. Too bad people like us have some good ideas!!!!!!!!

Pails work great for cubbies. I notch the sides for the springs and put the lid on with a 7x7 or so square cut in it. It works good!
