You cannot ahve things both ways at your personal convenience.


Funny thing about our trapping laws here is they say if a beaver dam is on your property you can trap it without a license. The one thing you don't own is water, you can own all the land around a lake for example but the water belongs to the State, so I'm not sure how you are able to trap without a license at that point.
