Trapping on your own land?

[trappermatt]

Just finished the fur management course and the new Laws now allow anyone to own a trap but you must have the course to lawfully set the traps even farmers have to take the course they just don't have to buy the licence unless they want to trap on other property as well

I don't see any changes to FWCA pertaining to this , maybe you could show us were these new laws are

You could shoot the beaver with a .22 and keep the pelt

Yes it would be foolish to use a shot gun. I was just using this example of the variance in legalities. What's legal doesn't have to make sense.

I am unsure where it says it in the FWCA this is just what was told to the class by Cathy Richardson the senior wildlife tech for the MNR Guelph district

I believe that even if I shot it on my own land, I would still have to pay royalties on a pelt would I not?

You wouldn't want to shoot a beaver against the water with a .22 due to risk of ricochet...

Be a damn shallow angle to skip a .22 off a pond... Not saying it couldn't happen

It happens. That I can assure you but yes at a rather shallow angle. Being young and stupid at one time I watched a buddy skip one .22 bullet three times across a lake. He was attempting to be scientific and see if one brand shot further than another.
