Your wrong Cylvertip they are sponsoring relocation of beaver in Turners neck of the woods.
Turner89, at least the tribes aren't sponsoring the relocation of beaver up to you neck of the woods like they were previously... oh, wait, never mind Yeah, I have had them cut a renewal permit number in half too. Mothballs and maybe coyote urine it is. I will share my results
Bruce, any idea why they are limiting the number of animals authorized? On the ones I recently submitted, I requested between 6 to 10 animals - 6 on some , 10 on others. They all came back with 2 authorized. I'm dealing with good sized farms/ large tracks of land that have substantial damage. There is no shortage of beaver on any of them. I am back to these places every year due to the population increases since the trap laws changed. Now it means I will be submitting far more permit requests to get the numbers covered that I need to get the situation under control. Not to mention wasted effort in needing to disable traps when the "quota" is reached, then go reset for the next round on the next permit, only to get to do it all over again.
When they deny permits now, they don't sign a name on the bottom of the email anymore. I was recently denied a permit for problem coyotes causing problems with personal pets...two weeks later the house cat is gone.

I've missed twice with the .243 in the last month shooting from the window. Getting my first pair of glasses in about a week.It was my cat. I'm beyond pissed and don't believe I would portray myself very well. In any case, it should be required and SOP to put your name on any correspondence coming from the department. These people supposedly work for us. The intentional lack of accountability is disturbing and it extends well beyond this subject. How many different WDFW agents are involved in nuisance permit applications?
So I submitted new requests that matched to my previous ones (that only had 2 animals authorized for each). Ralph shot me a note asking why I had submitted new requests vs asking for renewals?Here is what I wrote back: "The previous permits only authorized 2 animals each. They all requested 6 to 10 animals. The authorized animals were fulfilled the night those traps were set on several of those. One place was not set at all. Requesting renewal for 1 or two animals most likely means that I will need another permitted immediately, and will again have to disarm traps, then go re-arm them with the next permitt. It means more hassle for me and more paperwork for both of us. All of that is frankly a waste of time."About an hour later I received my new permits with the beaver numbers I requested authorized. Thanks again Bruce!
