Set Requirements for Cable Restraints

When set, cable restraints must be:

• Anchored firmly to the ground or to an immovable location (no drags are allowed).
• Set in such a way that a captured animal may not be subject to entanglement or suspension.
• Positioned to provide 360° of movement around the anchor point.
• Set so that bottom of loop is no less than 6 inches and no greater than 12 inches above the first hard surface beneath the cable restraint (ground, ice, crusted or packed snow).
• Maintained in good condition so that all components operate properly.
• Visited by the trapper at no longer than a 36-hour interval, and all captured animals removed from the set.
• Removed from an area when abandoned or when the season closes.
