WILDLIFE CD-SNARE TRAPS                                                    

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Wildlife Code.  Allows the use of snares  not  powered      
   by  springs,  spring  poles, or mechanical devices to trap fur-bearing      
   mammals on land or in water (now, the use of  snares  not  powered  by      
   springs  or mechanical devices may be used to trap fur-bearing mammals      
   in water sets).  Requires snares to be visited at least  once  a  day.      
   Prohibits  the use of snares during closed trapping season.  Prohibits      
   the use of snares within 10 feet on either side of  a  public  highway      
   fence.   Prohibits  the  use  on  land  of snares with a loop diameter      
   exceeding 15 inches.  Prohibits the use on land of snare traps without      
   a relaxing mechanical lock, anchor swivel, and stop device to  prevent      
   the relaxing mechanical lock from closing the noose lock to a diameter      
   of  less  than  2 1/2 inches.  Prohibits the use of snare traps with a      
   relaxing lock in water.  Prohibits the use of  snares  attached  to  a      
   drag or a movable object.
