Can I dispatch of a muskrat damaging my property with my .22 pellet gun? town rules prohibit fire arms within town limits.
Or do I have to pay a trapper?

State law allows a property owner to take any furbearer that is destroying personal property as long as you report it to a CO within 72 hours. However, if you are within city/town limits and there is a projectile/firearms discharge ordinance, you would be in violation of the ordinance by shooting a pellet gun there. Either pay a trapper or buy some traps and do it yourself. I will let you know that hiring a animal control person to trap a nuisance animal will cost you a pretty penny.
