    I will say most big land owners I know have a way of doing things their own way to protect livestock if you know what I mean.

    Would you care to point directly at the relevant passage on that web site. I am not arguing I am just curious as to what it says. Trapping can not even be found on it by using its search function.

    As an aside my company has a wildlife permit that includes my property and the first part of it states I must use a licensed trapper. The permit merely allows removal of problem wildlife in places and at times when there is not an open season.It also specifies what traps may or may not be used.

    I am sure that many if not most ranchers will remove predators when they have an opportunity to personally deal with one that is predating on their livestock. Depending on the circumstances they may be wise to use the SSS principals. It is interesting to note the Livestock Protection Program run by the Cattlemens Association to deal with ranchers wolf and coyote issues operates under a wildlife permit that requires its Wildlife Specialists be licensed trappers.

    I probably miss interpreted the way I read it I’m no expert by any means I just know my rancher buddy takes care of the problem preds himself and has a permit to do so he may be skipping a step? I think they kinda get away with some stuff because it’s a hassle to wait for officers who never get back to you in time
