Ok, I dont have a trappers license, or permit, or even the knowlege about trapping wild animals (unless there feral cats).  We have seen raccoons around our home several times, and with having three dogs, and several birdfeeders I see a possible problem occuring in the near future. Can I use my havaheart traps to catch them and dispose of them on my own,  or could I face legal issues if  I go that route?

Bofire:
shotgun.

Tats sucks. I think you could run into some legal issues if they catch you trappng coons. I'm sure theres a trapper or two on here to give you the info you looking for. Mybe a local one that could help with your problem. It might help to get rid of the outside food for your birds and dogs for awhile. If there is no food they might move on from your property.

Humptulips:
You are completely within the law to trap on your own property without a license or any kind of permit as long as you use cage traps.

If disposal means killing them. Do it on your own property. If it means releasing them somewhere. Do not release on private property unless you have permission.
WDFW does not want them released somewhere else but it is not actualy illegal for someone without a license. They are a real problem as they are apt to show up at someones house and to catch them a second time is a real problem plus there is the danger of spreading disease.
Usually when you move a problem animal you are just moving the problem to someone else.
