[QUOTE="jarhead983, post: 904474, member: 7129"] It is illegal to snare in OK. That being said, if you have a Nuisance Wildlife Control license you can use snares on a nuisance call. I don't know about their use on your own land. I do know that as a landowner you have more leeway. The conibear class is no longer valid. Now if the landowner gets a nuisance depredation permit than he can have anyone use them under his permit. Dont forget, beaver is great eating. And no, no pun intended. The Oklahoma Fur Bearers have a great website at oktrapper.com. They also have demos and classes at their conventions. We also put on a youth trapping camp 2 days after Christmas. We teach trapping techniques and let the kids run their own trap line for 4 days. We teach them how to skin the animals and they take home their catch. If you dont have a kid, but still want to come out and learn a little bit, check out the website and call me. Im the OFBA Secretary. Bobcats can be hunted or trapped. You need a hunting license, a Fur Bearers license, $10, I think, and if you trap you have to have a trapping license. Once the cat is harvested they must be taken to a game warden and have a CITES tagged affixed. Its like a large zip tie that is individually serialized. You cannot sell any fur to anyone but a licensed fur buyer. We have 2 sells in Feb., one east and the other west if you want to sell them. Now if you were to have it tanned, then it is considered a cloth and you can do anything you want. I would suggest that you keep the CITES tag with it though. Just a suggestion, if you take the bobcat to the game warden frozen and on the carcass, before freezing, cut a slit from under the lip up through the eye socket. Put a stick or pencil through it before putting in the freezer. This will allow the tag to be easily affixed. Also, the rear haunches of a bobcat are good eating. I havent tried the rest of it, but I assume it would be just as good. [/QUOTE]
