[QUOTE="Eatsleeptrap, post: 453982, member: 7577"] Since you opened the can of worms instead of just appreciating the work the North Dakota Cooperative Fur Harvester Education Program has done I have several questions. What was your friend hunting in the spring? Seems most seasons are closed, except some trapping and snaring seasons open until March 15. Even if the dog was a little out of shotgun range, which dogs sure can do, he should have been able to find it fast enough to save it. Must have been way out there and couldn't hear whistles or commands. Or, of course, running completely unsupervised and off leash. Trap tags on trap chains or snares can be hard to see and identify if you do not know what you are looking for. Most of the time it is a copper tag coiled tightly around a chain link or coiled around the snare near the anchor point and covered with dirt. The reason they are coiled tightly, and even crimped, is any other way of attaching it makes them easily removed by the animal when a catch is made, or snagging on other equipment while transporting and setting. Game wardens know what to look for, and they easily uncoil so the information can be recorded. Had your friend found a tag, it may have just been an equipment number, which also would have "kept him out of jail" because physically assaulting numbers is not illegal in ND.
