Hello,
Brian from SD. Pheasant hunter with 2 black pointing labs. I am also a trapper and pro-trapping advocate.
We have seen a major decline in our pheasant numbers from what I believe are trapping restrictions that prevent our trappers from effectively harvesting our nest predators. We are trying to get these restrictions removed.
You can find more information here.

I would like to post this to the other sections of this forum to let some of you know just how damaging these restrictions have been on our pheasants and on our trappers.
I would also like to post a method I used to trained my dogs to avoid cubby traps. It only took 10 minutes, didn't hurt the dogs, and now when my dogs see a cubby trap they just stand there and bark at it. Very simple and effective.
Anyway, in the next week or two I will be posting pictures (if this allowable) on how to train your dog to avoid traps and will post in the dog training section.
Thanks,
Brian
