Trapping Incident #133

Summary:

While out riding on a dirt road with a client, a horseranch owner saw her dog, Bear, sniff at a snare baited with a deer carcass, get hooked, and die. “It was probably the most horrifying experience I’ve ever seen,” she said. In Nova Scotia, snares must be about 600 feet from dwellings unless permission is granted by the owner, but traps can be placed on privately owned land without permission unless a notice is posted prohibiting the traps. There’s no law governing the distance the traps must be from a road.

Result:
