Can't say how often that rule is followed but that's the new rule. APHIS of course exempt (I really wish APHIS would learn how to trap every beaver in a colony...makes life real hard for those of us who have to follow up).

mnsota...That Cattail information I quoted was out of an "Outdoor News" publication 2 weeks ago (vol51 No39) on page 14.


Calvin that is incorrect. It might have been the law but it isn't any more. Couple years ago it was changed to a landowner or an agent of the landowner doesnt need a permit.

BTW how the heck you been buddy? You should come up and eat crayfish with us this weekend.

Steven, could you direct me to where this might be printed? I can't find anything in the regulations and in the weekly CO reports I regularly am seeing where beaver permits are being granted. I am an agent for a city where they hold a permit that was issued in 2016 but is open ended in that it has no expiration date on it.

I have, however, talked to different landowners who have contacted the DNR about their beaver problems and they have told me that the DNR responded by saying to do whatever was necessary including shooting.

I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

I checked with my CO after reading this and he assured me that a permit is still required.


I have nothing clever to put here.

I have a permit that I renew with the DNR yearly that allows me to take many of the common (protected) nuisance animals out of season. I submit a yearly report of those animals taken. Beaver used to be on that list. About 2 years ago the DNR changed it across the board (best I can tell) to NOT include beaver. That is now a separate permit that must be issued by the C/O. That's, at least, how it works for me. I'd be interested to hear if it's different in your area if you hold this same permit.

Steven....I keep thinking I'll get up there. Sure want to. Just not happening again this year...Unfortunately.

Guessing you'll be out ice fishing and busting huts on top of the ice by rat opener at this rate.
