Anybody been through the process for getting a permit to use coniber/legholds for problem beaver. Do they make you try to live trap it first or are they pretty good about letting you jump straight to a coniber (I'm picturing an old culvert getting plugged out in the woods, not some old ladies backyard in town)? Sounds like a guy would have to apply each time he had a spot, not just get a permit to cover damage trapping and be "on-call" to respond to a problem beaver when and wherever?Anybody familiar with how it all works?Thanks. First and foremost you have to be nwco permit holder to use anything other than a live trap. You have to try with the live trap first, if that doesnt work then apply for a problem animal trapping permit and explain why you couldnt catch the animal in a live trap. Each area requires its own permit.

What's NWCO?

Each area requires its own permit. Not correct. Anyone can get a permit. You don't have to be a NWCO. In fact if you are trapping on your own land you do not eve need a trapping license.
