Iowa (RI) — The Iowa furbearer season opens on Saturday, and DNR furbearer biologist Vince Evelsizer says the trapping prospects look good.
Evelsizer says the wet start to the year helped fill up waterways, which benefits furbearers, especially beaver and muskrats
Evelsizer says the fur prices are still in the low category for those who do take part.
Evelsizer says we’ve been holding around 15 thousand licensed trappers over the last several years. He says efforts to introduce young people to the sport have been successful.
Evelsizer says the young trappers are getting into it for a lot of reasons.
