Is trapping allowed on PLOTS?
Private Land Open To Sportsmen property is limited to public walk-in access for the purpose of hunting within legal hunting seasons, or as signed. State law requires trappers to obtain written permission from landowners or operators before placing or setting any traps or cable devices on private land, including PLOTS lands. The owner or operator may determine the length of time permission is granted. For those trappers who do secure permission to trap on PLOTS lands, please keep in mind these lands are heavily used by upland game and waterfowl hunters and their dogs throughout their respective seasons. Hunters should familiarize themselves with traps and cable devices and be prepared by learning methods to release a dog if caught in a trap or cable device. Hunters should consider carrying a short-nosed cable cutter.
