almost anywhere on public lands except for National Parks, The National Elk Refuge in Jackson, and a few other areas defined in Wyoming Game and Fish regulations.

• Traps can be legally placed directly on public trails, including popular hiking trails with no restrictions on numbers of traps. There are no setbacks.

• Hike with Caution! Warning signs in trapping areas are not required.

• Trappers are not responsible for any injuries to your trapped pet.

• Trapped animals can be held in traps for up to 72 hours in leg-holds and up to 13 days in conibears (quick-kill traps) or snares. It is illegal to tamper with or remove animals from a trap.

• Furbearer trapping season is Oct 1 – April 30. Trappers target furbearers such as badger, beaver, bobcat, marten, mink, muskrat and weasel.
