Trapping Regulation Summary

Furbearers, including beaver, lynx, marten, mink, muskrat, otter, red squirrel, wolf, fox, coyote, and weasel, may only be taken by licensed trappers.

Furbearers accidentally taken in snares by small game hunters should be released if they are alive. They may be released by covering the animal in a coat, tarpaulin or tree tops and then either cutting or undoing the snare.

Every effort should be made to release non-target animals. Dead or injured furbearers should be turned over or reported to the nearest Forest Resources and Agrifoods Office.
