I'm headed for Alaska on the 18th.There is always a squirrel problem. So do I need some type of Nonresident licence to legally trap them and take them back home. Might as well put them up and send them to the auction.

You will need a non-resident small game license, $60 US. No closed season no limit. Very different cost if you want to trap them. You can only purchase a combination Hunting/Trapping license for non-resident at he cost of $405 US. Alaska has no sperate non-resident trapping license.

Your two grandsons will be able to hunt,/trap but not you. So if you had 2 resident grandsons, why did you even ask the question Beav? Though i would be careful with using the grandsons. If "you" set or make sets, you could be charged with trapping without a license. Just saying and giving you free information. cause i don't know the age of your grandsons. Anyways have a great time with your grandsons and bringing all the money from squirrels to the bank. laugh

I doubt that August caught squirrels have any fur value.

There Is a infestation on the property so we will deal with it. A few years ago me and the boys eliminated 82 in a few weeks.

Best bait for squirrels is a roll of fiberglass insulation...LOL


I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

We keep snare poles running all year at the cabin to keep the population down. They are hugely destructive.

That poor young man at the school bus managed to live in them for a while .They are so far down here because of the fire damage,pine beetle kill and spruce bud worm that has decimated the fir and sptuce .Probably due to dry summers and low snow pack in winter . smith
