What would happen to a hunter if they set salt licks on animal trails or by water holes, along with loaded guns, as in “setguns” to shoot and injure or kill whatever animal and as many as possible that came by for their thrill at their discovery days, even weeks, later?
“Incidental” non-target victims are inherent in trapping, legal and condoned as such in Montana.
Trapped protected species do not have to be reported if the trapper decides they can be released “uninjured”.
