When is the annual fur trapping report due?

The annual fur trapping report is due on July 1st. This deadline is important for fur trappers because it allows the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to collect vital data on fur-bearing species, trap usage, and overall trapping activity within the state. By adhering to this timeline, trappers contribute to wildlife management efforts that balance species conservation with sustainable use. The July deadline provides enough time after the trapping season ends for trappers to compile their records and submit accurate reports, ensuring the data collected is both timely and relevant for effective management decisions.
