FURBEARERS
|
|||
|
Many fortunes were made when the first mountain men started
trapping in the western regions of our country. This rich
heritage opened the way for settlers going from one ocean to
another. For years the Native Americans knew of the plentiful
bounty provided by this great land. For many of us, our fathers and grandfathers ran traplines each day to add a little income and to enjoy the outdoors. Unfortunately, the taking of furbearers has decreased in the last couple of decades. Furbearing animals include raccoon, mink, badger, muskrat, opossum, weasel, bobcat, beaver, skunks and foxes to name a few. Check the current hunting regulations for each species to be taken. NOTE: In addition to an annual trapping license, a special bobcat-raccoon-gray fox license is required for all who take these species by any means unless exempt. See the current Oklahoma Hunting Guide (Regulations) for complete details. View a list of the fur dealers and bobcat check stations. |
