Jim, unfortunately I'm quite sure that the banning of all traps(bodygripping)is going to happen.. The reasons it will pass is quite simple:Lack of education!!!!The west side of wash. is loaded with liberals who think that Nature can exist without our intervention..100yrs ago this could have happened, today we need to manage ourselves along with mothernature. People do not realize the importance of trapping "critters". They think it is out of sport and money.. I have a very good friend who has trapped forever 3 decades and he never made much money. The bunny-huggers need to see a disease hit the "critters" in their backyard and watch the suffering that can take place because of an overpopulation.You liberal "outdoorsmen" who do not think that the over-riding agenda of the anti-everythings is to totally eliminate hunting and fishing as we know it are walking with closed eyes. Just ask yourself one question, who are these liberal idiots going to vote for? Gore vs. Bush and Locke vs.Carlson. This should tell you who supports who..
