No trapping with sportsman license remains invalid
Wisconsin game warden James Washburn says the 1973-74 sportsman license does not grant trapping rights despite its wording. A separate trapping license is now required after the 1973 legislature removed trapping from the sportsman license. DNA tags are not required, but every trap must bear the trapper’s name and address on a metal tag.
