State Beaver Management Policy
The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department
manages beaver in the state and attempts
to maintain populations wherever the animal's
presence is beneficial. This policy is supported
by the far-reaching benefits to other species of
wildlife, including those to waterfowl, moose,
deer, otter, mink, and muskrats.
Beaver populations are controlled by an
annual open trapping season which is geared to
harvest surplus beaver to minimize detrimental
effects of over abundance while ensuring
sufficient numbers to maintain good wildlife
habitat. Beaver are also taken out of season by
licensed "trouble" trappers. These "nuisance"
beaver were once live trapped and moved by
Conservation Officers in NH. This form of
control is no longer practiced due to factors
such as: extreme labor intensity, required
permits, cost, damage liability, lack of relocation
sites, and unsound biological management.
Beavers are protected in New Hampshire by
RSA 210:9.


let me look up rsa 210:9

 

That didn't take long.
Thanks for the help Unc.

here is all the trapping info they have on their site

http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/Hunting/Hunting_PDFs/Trapping_Regs_2008_09.pdf


be sure to read the part where they talk about unlawfull things some of it envolves beaver dams if you have any questions call you local CO to clarify

 

I lived and trapped in WMU M (south eastern NH) and they are FREAKI8N LOADED with beaver. Peoples yards are being flooded because of them. The IDIOTS would tell me they are too cute to trap, and I would tell them they aren't so cute when your house gets flooded out because of them. I would also tell them when they do get flooded out and need them trapped DON'T CALL ME.

 

Here are the limits. No limit on beaver just a season. I use a conibare for beaver. Contact Bob Wendt, he's a member here and he is a professional trapper and I'm sure he will help you. http://www.taxidermy.net/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=767

BEAVER AND OTTER
The season for taking otter and beaver by trapping shall be November 1
through April 10. The season limit for otter shall be 10 otters. Otter sealing
is required within 10 days of the close of the otter season. Beaver and
otter may be taken by snares set in water or under ice.

Good luck.

 

LOL Good luck REDNECKBOY. I miss trapping in NH but now that I would have to get a non-resident trapping lic. it would cost me $301 and I can't trap in Mass.
