Officials lift trap setback requirements for many seasonally closed roads in Ravalli County.
RAVALLI COUNTY, Mont. — Officials lift trap setback requirements for many seasonally closed roads in Ravalli County.
The Fish and Wildlife Commission proposed and approved of the amendment that aims to lift the requirements for roads that are seasonally closed to motor vehicles, including off-highway vehicles, during trapping season.
Previously, all roads and hiking trails designated by administrative signs and open to vehicle use in Ravalli County were subject to a 50-foot setback for ground set traps and snares, which is the standard throughout most of the state.
There will be no changes to existing hiking trail trap setback requirements or areas currently closed to specific types of trapping in the county, including areas of Lake Como Ski Area and Bass Creek Recreation Area.
Trapping season for bobcats runs from Dec. 1st through Feb. 15th and the season for wolves begins on Jan. 1st and runs through February 15th in Ravalli County.
