I don't recall seeing anything about the legality of trapping on National Forrest. Can you trap on public land in Georgia. What about WMA?
I have a lifetime license,, and keep the name calling to yourself..Yes you can trap on National Forests and no you can't on WMA's, so the goober above me needs to get a WMA stamp and leave the NF to the trappers so he don't have to chew his leg off! lol
I hope it is illegal on both NF and WMAs.. thats the only place alot of people have to hunt and no-one wants to step in a steel trap while hunting on public land.

wouldnt bother me any at all. i would simply take it off my boot, and carry on with my day.
why would it be such a big deal to you?
and WMAs & NFs are the only places i have to hunt.
thats my point, if someone were to step on a trap its no big deal. there's plenty of other things to worry about....like getting shot, or snakes or ....I don't think a 5" diameter trap is going to do much to a boot walking in the woods. Doubt it would even grab the boot. I may have to try walking over one to see if it would even grab you. I think I'll video it too and post it for you guys.
there ya go ...One more time. Glad I saved the pics. They won`t hurt you.

Well,, glad to hear they won't hurt a person. Sorry about my earlier post. That would make for some interesting talk from people running coon dogs and rabbit dogs, when they get caught in the traps though... I assume a dog might get a foot hung in one just like a Yote would get caught.guess you've never seen the traps most all folk in georgia use.....couldnt hurt you by stepping on it if you tried.....wouldnt even be able to get around a boot anyway...

It is an interesting idea to allow trapping long as everybody agrees with it.
??? my foot is much too big to get stuck in a 5.75” jaw spread. Ignorance is sadYes you can trap on National Forests and no you can't on WMA's, so the goober above me needs to get a WMA stamp and leave the NF to the trappers so he don't have to chew his leg off! lol
We’re required to check the traps every 24 hours and carry a catch pole to release domestic animals. All will be wellYea nic but your ole hides like leather. Lol
I do not see an issue with traps on NF other than maybe someones hunting dog but that's just a chance u take letting a dog off a leash. Unless they are using a bear trap you should be able to keep all 11 toes
