Update of the 220 Regs. From Dave Leibig, NYSTA President:
On January 30, 2008, The Department of Environmental Conservation published in the NYS Register, the adoption of the proposed "The Setting of Body Gripping Traps on Land" regulations. The only change from the Emergency Regulations is the elimination of the 100 foot rule on Wildlife Management Areas. You can review the complete regulation with comments from the comment period HERE
I would like to thank everyone that submitted there comments for these comment periods. These regulations like most regulations are a work in motion. Unlike a law, that isn't as easily changed. Trappers need to keep commenting to the DEC, where these regulations have been flawed and where they are working for you. If they don't hear from you they will think all is well. Please keep the comments coming.
