so then if all testing was on an early 24 hr check- any recommendations, etc to states that encourage longer checks, would be useless information.
Never forget what happened in Montana last fall- its going to keep reoccurring- and with pamphlets like this, leading the way.
Which is why each state needs to develop and incorporate trapers ed that is germaine to their conditions and their areas.
The danger of 1 size fits all is all to apparent...

No not useless at all, just like some state allow rifles for deer hunting and others don't state by state basis, that is why the trappers ed manual is not written in stone but allows for change and flexibility, you can state to your class many states with domestics, smaller farms and higher specie density's see a need for 24 hr dry land trap checks, we living where we do with larger land tracts, lower populations, and less domestic issues, we can use 48-72 hr trap checks and still be ethical trappers. I would think some don't know how to use their minds and want to read just what a textbook states without adapting to the rules and regs of each state.
Never forget what happened in Montana last fall- its going to keep reoccurring- and with pamphlets like this, leading the way.
I have seen no proof of this and states realize that not everything is best suited for there state, I can tell you the same with any hunters ed manual. Your taking a very small potion and trying to prove your bias, there are a few things that need to be addressed state by state and the manual allows for those changes. The large majority of the manual touches on many, many finer points than state to state trap check and other regs.
Which is why each state needs to develop and incorporate trapper's ed that is Germaine to their conditions and their areas.

First read the manual before you prejudge it please! That is exactly why I have stated over and over the Manuel is subject and built for change so each state can tweak the areas that need to be to conform to rules and regs of their state. Again the majority is straight forward good trappers ed information.
It is not one size fits all, your taking a very small part of a whole and trying to make that seem as the largest portion of a manual to teach trapper ethics and responsibility and species ID, trapping equipment,setting techniques,etc and you want to focus on things that all involved in this project new would be open for change to adapt to each states rules and regs. Read the manual.

I see no problem with the information being in all trappers ed courses, also though states can do whatever they want, no state is mandated to using one form or another of hunt ed or trappers ed. This manual will cover everything anyone would need for the most part and state to state they can modify the course to fit theri respective needs.
