Southwest Ohio’s trapping season has been fundamentally changed by development

Ohio’s annual trapping season for fur-bearing animals started Tuesday, but some say the tradition has been fundamentally changed by development. “You think about the old adage of driving down the road with your grandpa, and he says, ‘Back in my day this was all cornfields.’ Well, it's true,” said Brett Beatty, a West Chester-area native and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ wildlife management supervisor for Southwest Ohio. “I tell my kids, ‘Back in my day this was all cornfields.’”
