This week, the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation filed comments to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service supporting the issuance of an incidental take permit that would help protect trapping in the state. Click here to read USSAF’s full comments to the Service.
On November 9, 2011, the Service announced it would considering issuing an incidental take permit to Maine’s Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. The permit would allow the state, and licensed trappers, to accidentally trap a small number of Canada lynx, when trapping for other legal species, without being in violation of the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Essentially, the permit would recognize that a few accidentally caught Canada lynx do not threaten the species’ ability to survive and recover.
The NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife is advising the state’s trapping community that if a bobcat (alive or dead) is found in a set to call 877-WARNDEP (877-927-6337). The dispatcher will notify the appropriate Endangered and Nongame Species zoologist. Although bobcats are considered a game species, they are currently classified as “Endangered” in New Jersey and are managed by the division’s Endangered and Nongame Species Program.
Information on how to avoid capturing a bobcat in the first place has been posted on the division’s website at http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/news/2012/bobcat.htm . All trappers are encouraged to review the information and do their part to reduce mortalities and injury to this recovering species.
Our new website will be growing over the next couple of days. Please let us know at pola@galiemedia.com if you would like to be notified when complete.
NJFH members – please let us know if you have any photos, comments, suggestions.
