How are traps and devices required to be labeled?

Traps and devices used in wildlife control must be labeled with the permit number or trapper ID number to ensure compliance with regulations governing their use. This requirement is crucial because it allows for the identification of the operator responsible for the traps, should there be any questions or concerns regarding their placement and use. Labeling traps in this way helps authorities track the activities of wildlife control operators, ensuring accountability and adherence to wildlife management laws. Other information, such as the owner's name, setup date, or type of bait, does not serve the same regulatory purpose as the permit or ID number, which is essential for legal and safety compliance in wildlife capture and management practices.
