Think You Have a Record?
If you have trapped a large furbearer, let your regional office know. Browse the Regional Office Directory to find the office number.
The rules:
- Your record must be a legal furbearing species.
- It must be taken within the legal trapping/hunting/cable-restraint season each year.
- Record is for the weight only.
- Weights are recorded by MDC personnel at the Resource Science Center in Columbia or at the fur auctions on a specified digital scale.
Records documented since 2011.
