According to the U.S. Sportsman’s Alliance, state Representative Steve Vaillancourt (R- Hillsborough) has introduced HB1514.
prohibits the sale, purchase, possession, and transportation of all raw skins or unskinned carcasses of furbearing animals. The bill does make an allowance for the transportation or possession of raw pelts or unskinned carcasses, but only when the pelt will not be used as fur. If passed, the bill would effectively eliminate trapping in New Hampshire. Likewise, the bill would equally limit sportsmen who hunt furbearing animals like coyote, fox and raccoon.
