What is true regarding the use of conibear-type traps and snares in specific areas?

The use of conibear-type traps and snares is subject to specific regulations that vary by zone in California. In certain designated zones, particularly in areas where there are concerns for non-target species or particular wildlife protections, the use of these traps is prohibited to help conserve local wildlife populations and protect sensitive species.

This regulation is in place to ensure responsible trapping practices and reduce the risk of accidental capture of non-target animals. Hence, being mindful of these restrictions is essential for all trappers to comply with the laws and improve the sustainability of wildlife management in those regions.

While there may be zones where these traps are allowed, the key focus is that they are indeed prohibited in specific areas, making it crucial for trappers to be aware of local regulations before engaging in trapping activities.
