Trap release

Dave Pauli demonstrates how a common snare trap works during a 2016 workshop. A virtual workshop is planned for 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Dave Pauli’s guidance starts with staying alert in order to safely get out with your dog in places also used for furbearer trapping.

Pay attention to surroundings, he advises, especially in areas clearly used by wildlife — game trails can be a sign. Stay attuned to your pet’s behavior, and be on the lookout for shiny, intriguing items used by trappers to lure in their quarry, like DVDs and feathers. Adopt those practices year-round, he said.
