I spoke with a local F&W officer today. I've spoke with him before regarding other topics, and he seems to be really on the ball.
He said that snaring, as well as hunting rabbits on crown land IS legal, as long as the requirements are followed.
As far as how a RFMA affects this, which was my main concern in the original question. Rabbits/hares are not considered a furbearer, so the RFMA doesn't affect the rules.
I told him about this thread, and that many feel that the regulations have many parts open to personal interpretation. He said this type of question is common.
I personally feel that the regulations have a lot of parts that can be interpreted differently by various people, they even have a disclaimer that states that the reg's are not a legal document. I think this type of varied interpretation is the reason.
Far easier to ask an officer than deal with the troubles after you've broken the law over a misunderstanding, IMO.
Thanks for the lively discussion.
