ya'll got alot of cats?
we got more thsn they think,imo, and they should either raise the limit or do away with it all together.
theyd be surprised how many cats there are here in wv if they did.

Here we have a limit of 5 cats and 20 beaver. The beaver are way too thick and they could double the limit and they would still be too thick as there are not many trappers for the size of our province and some of them don't actually trap ;D or target beaver due to the price compared to the amount of work. I will have some fur this year and I'll post the pics.I am going to get set up so that the skining and fleshing is a wee bit easier on my back and I have to get some streachers made. I think for now I may have enough traps for water trapping but I am going to try and get 12 #3 Bridgers cs for coyotes and the rest will be snare sets for them. If # 2's were recomended I'd be tempted to get them as they are cheaper but #3 os cs are the recomended cat and coyote trap by our gov't so ya gotta do what they say ya gotta do.
