Abstract

Trapping is an important tool for wildlife management and is regularly used by wildlife biologists, farmers, trappers and private landowners to aid in endangered species protection, mitigation of human-wildlife conflicts, provide materials for fur and associated industries, and disease control. Since the tool is applied to a wide variety of wildlife species and situations, traps for wildlife come in a variety of sizes and styles depending on the target wildlife species and the situation in which the trap is needed.
