Captain - Yes, I am taking a personal interest in this one and I am hoping to get some backing from the judiciary. This sort of conduct is inexcusable. Law-abiding sportsmen should realize that this nonsense can be used to unfairly label them all as blood thirsty, cruel ogres. It's important that the public is made aware that snare traps are inhumane and ILLEGAL and that their use will not be tolerated. Sadly, it seems this guy is a long time licensed trapper. You have to wonder how many animals over the years suffered a slow death in his snares. I better stop now before I say something I'll regret. Again, kudos to DEP!!
