A mother and daughter from Incline Village on April 23 admitted in court that they tampered with a bear trap. Cheryl Ann Morrison and her 35-year-old daughter, Season, contend they did so because state wildlife officials illegally set the traps.

According the the Reno Gazette-Journal, Judge Alan Tiras did not render a decision after the daylong hearing in Incline Justice Court, but instead wants more input from both attorneys regarding the Oct. 9 incident.

Charges against the women include deliberately tripping a trailed culvert trap, obstructing or interfering with an officer of the Department of Wildlife and tampering with a vehicle.

    bear traps are put in place because of the stupidity of people leaving our their trash or leaving food where bears can get it, like in cars. bear boxes should be mandatory. quit killing our bears! lock up the stupid people instead!!
