Hunting and Trapping

We discussed three general types of steel traps and one other kind of trap used by fur trappers and/or researchers. Answer the following questions, numbering each one.

[1] In your own words, describe each kind of trap.

[2] Describe the ‘advantages’ of each of those kinds of traps relative to the other kinds of traps.

[3] Describe the ‘disadvantages’ of each of those kinds of traps relative to the other kinds of traps.

[4] What kind of traps do you think should be allowed to be used in Florida and why?
Note: we’re asking your opinion based on what you’ve learned. It’s OK to be for or against trapping. Your grade is based on demonstrating what you’ve learned about the different kinds, not your opinion of them. We do understand that this is an uncomfortable topic for many of you. The goal here is just for you to gain knowledge about techniques that are used in practice.
The purpose of this exercise is to have you reflect on the different types of traps and their uses. Consult the grading rubric for a break down of points.
