§ 113-270.5. Trapping licenses.

§ 113‑270.5.  Trapping licenses.

(a)        Except as otherwise specifically provided by law, no one may take fur‑bearing animals by trapping, or by any other authorized special method that preserves the pelt from injury, without first having procured a current and valid trapping license. When the trapping license is required, it serves in lieu of a hunting license in the taking of fur‑bearing animals. If fur‑bearing animals are taken as game, at the times and by the hunting methods that may be authorized, hunting license requirements apply.

(b)        The trapping licenses issued by the Wildlife Resources Commission are as follows:

(1)        Resident State Trapping License – $25.00. This license is valid only for use by an individual resident of the State.

(2)        Resident County Trapping License – $10.00. This license is valid only for use by an individual resident of the State within the county in which he resides.

(3)        Nonresident State Trapping License – $100.00. This license is valid for use by an individual within the State.
