Can a county or a county sanctioned organization such as the Humane Society regulate the types of traps used in that county.

NO! please see the statute I posted below. It does not matter whether you are in an incorporated or unincorporated area. The state is the SOLE regulator of trapping wild animals."A unit of local government may not regulate in any way the trapping of wild animals, except for the trapping of wild animals on or in land, buildings, or other real property that is owned by the unit of local government."A unit of local government may NOT regulate IN ANY WAY the trapping of wild animals, except for the trapping of wild animals on or in land, buildings, or other real property that is owned by the unit of local government."
IC 14-22-10-10 State as sole regulator
Sec. 10. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b), the state is the sole regulator of the trapping of wild animals in Indiana, and trapping is regulated only by:
(1) statutes; and
(2) rules adopted under IC 4-22-2 by authority of statute.
(b) A unit of local government may not regulate in any way the trapping of wild animals, except for the trapping of wild animals on or in land, buildings, or other real property that is owned by the unit of local government
