A joint petition urging the Idaho Fish and Game Commission to require trappers to place signs at trailheads and campgrounds within 25 feet of traps and snares will be evaluated by the commission tomorrow, May 14.

“Signs should be visible from at least 25 feet to help alert trail users to take action to avoid the injury or loss of a family dog or injury to a child,” the petition reads. “We request that the department also place visible signage in active wolf-hunting areas from April 1 through August 30 to warn campers and hikers of the increased risks of active hunting to themselves, their families and their dogs during the recently extended wolf-hunting season.”
