The biggest problem with trapping bridges Is there so darn hard to skin and fleshing and streaching Is even tougher. But If you can get through that there Is a pretty good market out there for put up bridges.

Certain counties hold title to the gravel roads and have laws against it. The one I do most of my coon trapping has a county ordanance against it. Other counties its kinda a grey area. If I read the law right you need permission from the landowner since they technically own to the center of the county road. Maybe hiways dont fall into this catagory. A lot depends on the game warden/ county attorney/ sherriffs of the given county. A fair amount of guys still bridge trap, but its mostly a short term night time affair. When it was legal, i got tired of being hassled all the time by farmers. I'm much happier now just permission trapping. In the county where its illegal, i can start trapping whenever and dont have to worry much about them being cleaned out.
This would be a good topic, "do you prefer to bridge trap coons or permission trap coons?" Sometimes i miss bridgetrapping, especailly when having to spend 2 weeks getting permision, hate it, be nice just to go trap. Once i get all my permission lined up, I dont really miss it a bit. Had a lot of bad experiences in the old bridge trapping days. I used to think the fastest way to trap coon was to stay on the road and just hit bridges, I have vastly changed my opinion on that.
