Animals out of season

[swamprat27]

I have a question about trapping a nontarget out of season animal. What if you have a set that could catch multiple kinds of animals. And you were to catch a furbearing animal  other than a cat or dog that you legaly cant trap. I guess this referring mostly to conibear were the animal cant just be released.

 Thanks for the insight

 Your best bet, is to contact your conservation officer or game warden--before traps are even set.Find out the correct procedure for dealing with this type of situation.
 You are from New York--and you are very limited to the size of body gripping traps you can use on land--I believe that you are limited to a 110(please correct me if I am wrong). So your odds of catching a non-target-furbearing animal during  season are very limited.
 When in doubt--set somewhere else, or use a foothold(which is a live trap).

Tom here in NY we can use both 160's & 220's on land as long as we adhere to specific regulations designed to prevent the accidental capture of dogs.
