More people in Montana are trapping than ever before, as evidenced by the ever increasing number of licences sold in the past 17 years. State furbearer biologist Brian Giddings believes that higher pelt prices for species like bobcat and marten are encouraging more outdoorsmen to go trapping.
If you’re a trapper in Montana, you may be running into more competition, but remember: far fewer people are pursuing the sport of trapping than in the past, and hopefully more trappers can continue to bring positive publicity to the sport.
