Only applies to body gripping traps. (coni bear) must be trapper, manufacturer, retailer, instructional or held a licence within last 5 years. Seems that leg holds are OK to possess. I would imagine that "intent" or "purpose" would have a effect on the legality of owning such a trap. info source Ontario E laws.

You may be correct. I checked the regs and can't find any mention of leg holds. I took the trapping course a few years back and was told by the instructor that it applied to all traps.

I was told the same on my course a LONG time ago. I believe the regs have changed to protect the garage and auction sale purchases of old traps for display purposes.

Having a farm in Ontario and making feed attracts all types of pests, I use live traps purchased from tsc and can the decide whether I want to get rid of it or let it go, just be aware that you check them daily so nothing you trap suffers needlessly, if its a pest/vermin a quick dunk in the water tank and dispose of the problem if not you can release it and no worry about hurting someone's pet.
What he said. WAY too many armchair experts and wannabee lawyers here.
Excellent mouse trap as well.
Used your method in a minex camp when I was an undergrad running geophys surveys. We had mice getting into the kitchen tent(plywood floors and pony walls, canvas top) and scheduling more food to replace unexpected spoilage wasn't an easy thing. We tried traditional mouse traps and would catch one mouse every few days or once a week. But, we kept seeing lots of mouse poop and storage containers/bags were getting chewed on daily. One of the seasoned guys gave me your "recipe" so I set up a couple of the pails. Next morning we had 7 mice in one bucket and 5 in the other. The "haul" dropped significantly after the first night but we kept using the buckets for the rest of the season with minimal trouble in the kitchen after that...
yep!! a Polish mouse trap - they work great! But it is funny to look at the faces of people who dont know anything about them when they watch you set it up!!
BTW ... I am curious but does a chipmunk have enough weight to spring a leg hold trap .... or do they have to jump up first to reach the licorice stick in order to bounce the 'pan' when they come down hard?!!? ---- I want to watch that happen!!

I'm betting my face wasn't far different than those other ones you've seen: I was skeptical to say the least as I set them up as per the instructions I was given. But, I didn't question or give any push-back to the fellow who gave me the recipe; he was very bush-smart yet he never rubbed my book-smart nose in my youthful bush-ignorance. I think the more interesting facial expression would have been visible on my mug the next morning when I looked in the buckets and saw the haul from the previous night. The old timer who gave me the recipe didn't bother to give me any "I told you so" feedback, he just went about his business as usual. I really liked that guy: He taught me almost as much with what he didn't say as he did when he took the time to give me pointers...
