Setbacks

The following setbacks apply to public, federal, and state lands for the trapping of wolves at any time unless otherwise noted in the regulations:

• Campgrounds and Recreational Sites: Ground sets are prohibited within 1,000 feet of a designated campground or recreation site that is accessible by a highway vehicle. This includes areas such as, but not limited to, boat ramps or fishing access sites that have construction improvements or are accessible by a highway vehicle at any time of the year.
• Public Land Trailheads: On public land, foothold traps are prohibited within 1,000 feet of a designated or marked trailhead that is accessible by a highway vehicle at any time of year.
• Expanded Setbacks Along High Recreational Use Trails and Roads: A 500-foot setback from both edges of the trails and roads listed in this table under expanded setbacks by region is required for all ground set traps in Regions 1 and 3.
• Roads and Trails: Ground sets and snares require a 150-foot setback from the edge of roads and hiking trails that are designated by administrative signs or numbers. Exception: Roads closed year-round to motor vehicle and off-highway vehicle (OHV) use are not subject to these setbacks, for instance, Kelly-humped roads that are inaccessible to motor vehicle and OHV use but are lawfully accessible by snowmobile.
