A couple new regulations were signed by Doyle this week.

In addition to allowing trappers to keep green fur year-round now, we may also have our DNR customer ID number stamped onto a trap tag in lieu of name/address. Choice.

Under current law, each trap used by a licensed trapper must have a metal tag that has the name and address of the owner of the trap. The bill changes this requirement so that the name and address must be that of the operator of the trap.

Under the bill, the operator of a trap may use, in lieu of the name and address, a customer identification number issued by DNR to the operator under DNR’s automated system for issuing trapping licenses and other fishing and hunting
approvals.
