The hearing isn't about the coyote issue, but other stuff
Go here and Look under Furbearing Animals proposed Rule
www.in.gov/nrc/2378.htm
I'll be there and invite all that is interested in voicing concerns.
This is the Comment we sent in:
..............................................
This is the official response from the Indiana Fur Takers of America (437 Indiana Citizens/Trappers that belong to our Organization)My phone # 812-343-9066 for addition info.
Furbearing Mammals (LSA #07-659)
Fur Takers of Indiana "Oppose" the Proposed Regulations:
Section 6 312 IAC 9-3-18
Sec. 18 (a)-(d)
This section needs re-worded/removed and is too confusing for the average/new trapper to understand.
Better wording should be explored by the IDNR & Trappers for total compliance/unity.
Section 5 312 IAC 9-3-14-5 Possession of Furbearing Animals
Sec. 14-5
The Proposed Regulation should be dismissed and a reversal is in order.
Indiana Fur Takers of America strongly believe in free marketing of wild furs.
Many States allow Trappers to hold Fur year round (Indiana does not). With rising or declining markets, the Trapper is at the mercy of the Fur Buyer and this puts the Trapper at a disadvantage when marketing Fur on the final weeks of the possession dates. If the market is on a down swing this greatly effects the value of said fur and the trapper is left "holding the bag" so to speak.
Possession dates on wild fur need to be deleted and an accounting system put in place to monitor the Trappers wanting to hold Fur year round & hit the markets accordingly. Other States currently employ such programs for their Trappers.
We urge the NRC to do away with the current and proposed holding dates on wild fur.
We have generated a simple system for the IDNR to track the holding of wild fur past current season dates. FTA Indiana would work to get this completed with the IDNR if so ordered in a timely fashion.
