Need clarification on squirrel trapping?

I've been trying to learn some basic survival stuff, dead falls, snares, fire starting and so on. I understand that dead falls are illegal unless in a survival situation but i can build and see them work without actually killing anything. Snares on the other hand can't really be perfected unless you actually trap something or fail to trap something and learn what you did wrong.


So i set out to catch some squirrels.





I want to be legal about it so i looked up the hunting/trapping regs and seasons which is where i get confused.


Snares are ok to use here and if i hunt/trap on my own land i don't need a license or permit but the actual hunting/trapping seasons are confusing me.





Here(Ohio if i makes a difference) squirrels have a hunting season but nothing is mentioned at all about squirrels on the list of trapping seasons. So does that mean a person is free to use traps all year round or would you just follow the hunting season even if using traps?Need clarification on squirrel trapping?
you should be able to trap them during hunting season with no problems
