FAQ: Where can I trap with foothold traps?

Foothold traps may not be used on public land. This includes all federal land, regardless of agency, state land, county land and any land owned by any municipality.

The only land where foothold traps may be lawfully used is private land. Permission of the land owner should be approved prior to trapping on private land.

If an individual wishes to trap on any land other than private land, they must use a confinement trap.
