Trappers May Use Snares to Take Beaver

Contact:  Adam Bump 517-373-1263
Agency: Natural Resources


Oct. 27, 2009

As beaver trapping season progresses, the Department of Natural Resources reminds participants that the use of snares is legal during the entire season.

According to the 2009 Michigan Hunting and Trapping Guide, snares may be used for taking beaver Dec. 1 through March 31. That information is incorrect. Snares may now be used throughout the season.

All additional information concerning cable sizes and allowable sets in the guide are correct.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is committed to the conservation, protection, management, accessible use and enjoyment of the State's natural resources for current and future generations.
