when you trap them...you kill em yourself  I dont think there's any law against shootin them as long as season is in, check with your CO to make sure. Dont expect him/her to do anyhing about them though, not their job. |

Print a letter saying the beavers are a nuisance and have the landowner sign it and you will be good to go all year long.

From the IDNR web-site:
"The first steps in eliminating nuisance animals from your property is to try to exclude them from the area they are intruding. If exclusion isn't an option, you could try chemical repellents or habitat modification. There are also animal removal companies available that will trap and relocate nuisance animals. If you are interested in these companies, look in the yellow pages under animal removal services or call the nuisance wildlife hotline at 1-800-893-4116.
In some instances certain animals do not respond to the non-lethal means of control. In these circumstances, there are ways you can use lethal means to remove a nuisance animal from your property. There are certain procedures to follow but if the correct steps are followed, the animal can be removed without a permit.
A resident landowner or tenant may take, without a permit, a coyote, beaver, mink, muskrat, long-tailed weasel, red fox, gray fox, opossum, skunk, or raccoon that is discovered damaging property; you must report the taking of the animal to a conservation officer within 72 hours. The conservation officer will direct how to dispose of the animal. Landowners may take coyotes at any time on the land they own or provide written permission for others to take coyotes on their land at any time. Ground hogs (woodchucks) may be taken at any time using any equipment. Please check local ordinances to assure you are not breaking local laws."

You can shoot them if they are damaging his trees...Any animal can be shot at anytime of the year if it is doing damage to your or landowner property..the last paragraoh of Decaturs statement is correct..just shoot em and be done with it.

Print a letter saying the beavers are a nuisance and have the landowner sign it and you will be good to go all year long. So where ia any law or regulation does it say "get a written letter from the land owner and you'll be good"??  |

The original poster was talking about beavers, not coyotes. If you shoot a beaver, you have to report it to the DNR.
