[QUOTE="Rick Tischaefer, post: 139555, member: 3901"] My name is Rick Tischaefer and I am the President of the North Dakota Fur Hunters and Trappers Association. I also serve as a coordinator for the North Dakota Cooperative Fur Harvester Education Program, a joint outdoor education program with our association and the North Dakota Game and Fish Department. For the most part, El Nino has brought above normal temperatures and conditions to North Dakota this fall, allowing for extended upland bird hunting opportunities. Many trappers began building their trap lines through November, and with the close of the deer gun season, will begin targeting coyotes with cable devices (e.g. snares). Public lands such as WPA's and WMA's do not allow the use of cable devices until after the close of the upland bird season. The ability to use cable devices on private lands began November 21, 2016. Using cable devices on private lands requires written permission from the landowner or operator, and that includes PLOTS lands. Visiting with the landowner or operator is crucial to knowing who else has permission and what activities may occur on that land. The intent of this information is to raise the level of awareness and reduce the potential for any unnecessary problem. No trapper that I know of makes a set to catch someone's dog, but it can happen if circumstances permit. Knowledge of each others activities, communicating with landowners or operators, and being prepared are key to having a safe, productive, and enjoyable day afield. We have information brochures for safely releasing dogs, can provide needed training to dog owners, and are available to assist wherever needed – all anyone has to do is ask. The link to the three brochures is “[U][URL="http://www.gf.nd.gov/hunting/trapping-and-dogs"]www.gf.nd.gov/hunting/trapping-and-dogs[/URL][/U]”. If you would like to know more about using cable devices in North Dakota, the link to the handbook is “[U][URL="http://www.gf.nd.gov/sites/default/files/publications/using-cable-devices-in-nd.pdf"]www.gf.nd.gov/sites/default/files/publications/using-cable-devices-in-nd.pdf[/URL][/U]”. Galvanized aircraft cable is commonly used in the construction of cable devices for coyotes. Some wire cutters or leatherman tools may eventually cut this cable, but it will be very difficult and time consuming. Cable cutters are used to easily cut through this type of cable. They are inexpensive and small enough to carry in a hunting vest or jacket pocket.
