Section 3 CSR 10-8.505 - Trapping

PURPOSE: This amendment clarifies that furbearers may not be held alive under trapping permits, except by residents who also possess a Resident Commercial Live Coyote and Fox Trapping Permit, and corrects an inaccurate reference in the authority section of the rule.

Any person, to exercise the privilege of trapping, shall obtain and have on his/her person the prescribed permit or temporary permit authorization number(s), unless exempt under provisions of 3 CSR 10-5.205. The temporary permit authorization number(s) and picture identification must be carried at all times while trapping until the actual permit(s) is received. Furbearers may be purchased and sold only under provisions of Chapter 10, 3 CSR 10-4.135, and this rule. No person shall accept payment for furbearers taken by another. Furbearers may not be held alive under trapping permits, except as provided in 3 CSR 10-10.789 by residents who also possess the prescribed Resident Commercial Live Coyote and Fox Trapping Permit in accordance with 3 CSR 10-10.788.
