Trapping Changes for the Next Fur Season

April 15, 2014

Below is a email sent by Aaron Ghaemi (ODWC Furbearer Biologist) to Clifton Ray (OFBA Director). This is good news indeed. Let’s not sit on our laurels though, contact your state reps on other trapping issues that you have.

Both of those are still better than nothing, but writing is king when it comes to getting their attention. On a personal note, I want to thank Clifton and our other board members who are out there trying to changes made.  I especially want to thank Aaron Ghaemi for the work he does.

Just a few minutes of help will allow someone to take a break. We don’t turn down help when we get it and we always appreciate it. Even if we don’t always mention it or know who you are. Remember, we aren’t getting paid for this. We do it because it is all of our’s...
