The thread was there to inform Oregon beaver trappers about new regs being implemented mid season. I'm not sure why it went away as it served a purpose and contained valuable information and interpretation for our state's beaver trappers.

Perhaps it was yours and others comments being political????

If that's the way you saw so be it.

A blind man could see it.

Quit causing problems Peller,,,,dang origonarats…..

best hope THEY don't interpret public lands as navigable waters.

“(2) A person may not take a beaver for recreational or commercial purposes from an area that
is classified by the Department of Environmental Quality as belonging in category 4 or category 5
in a biennial report made pursuant to the federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1251-1389) and approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and that is:
“(a) A stream, river or watershed that flows through, is on or adjoins public land.

“(5) The use of a nonlethal coexistence measure is preferable over the taking of beavers under
subsection (4) of this section, but an allowed taking under subsection (4) of this section may include
lethal removal or relocation when authorized by the State Department of Fish and Wildlife.
“(6) The provisions of subsections (2) and (3) of this section do not apply:
“(a) To private lands;
“(b) Below the ordinary high water line of a navigable waterway when the adjoining land is
private land; or

Looks like lethal removal was authorized BP?

Say what?!!

Carl, your way of life is slowly dying and you can't seem to see what the cause is.

If I were you, I'd get in the control business.

It's all you're going to have left.

Appreciate your concern Steven.

For now I'm still good. Looked at the maps and nearly all my trapping grounds for beaver remain open.
