Title

Trapping of fur-bearing animals, licensing by Conservation and Natural Resources Department, fees, use of plastic tags on traps and the requirement that the license number of the owner of a trap be contained on any tag, deleted, Sec. 9-11-59 am'd.

Description

Under existing law, in order to trap fur-bearing animals, a person is required to have either a resident or nonresident trapping license and to pay the required fee. In addition, the traps used to trap fur-bearing animals are generally required to have a plastic or metal tag which contains the license number and name and address of the owner. Beaver traps are not required to have the license number of the owner on the tag.

This bill would further provide for resident and nonresident trapping licenses and fees, would delete the use of plastic tags on traps, would require a license for trapping beaver, and would delete the requirement that the license number of the owner of a trap be contained on any tag.
