Hunting Strategies: Hunting with Dogs and Trapping

Dogs

There are several breeds of dogs that can be used for hunting different game species such as pointers, retrievers, spaniels, and hunting hounds.. Some dogs can be used to hunt several types of game animals.

Trapping

Trapping furbearing animals was once a full-time occupation, but now many people enjoy trapping for recreation and additional income. When used properly, traps can be an effective tool for hunting and wildlife management. Trappers should educate themselves about the type of traps appropriate for the animal they're seeking and adhere to a trapper's code of ethics.
