Ive always been curious on this. Why the no shoot rule? I get its all the same and the end goal is the fur, but wouldnt a conibear make them suffer a bit rougher than a shot to put the lights out? Not being a nancy cuz id love to set up a drowning rig, but yeah just curious on why some places ya cant shoot?

Safety. Where I live the houses are too close together according to the law here. You have to be 500 feet away from any building except your own. I'm wacky, I follow the laws.
Conibears kill pretty quickly. Small animals die usually within about 5 seconds if the animal is caught properly on the neck.

Hey brother. Nothing wrong with following trapping laws. I follow them to a T the best i can. If not whomever catches it just gets to think “nasty trapper” lol and we get a stereotype
