I haven't trapped since I was a kid (a long time ago) and I'm from Mass. They make it very hard here for trappers. Well, I have an opportunity to move to W. Virginia and was wondering how the trapping is there and how the laws are? I guess I'm jumpy, here in Mass. they have a law for everything.

Hi WVBowman04
The company I work for is cosing but they have a plant in Scott Depot that I can transfer to if I want to keep my job. In Mass we can't use anything but box traps for trapping.
