Current through September 2, 2024
Section 13.01.16.150 - CONTROLLED TRAPPING PERMITS
01.General. No person may trap in a controlled trapping unit for the designated species without having a valid permit for that controlled trapping unit in possession. A permit issued based on erroneous information will be invalidated by the Department. The Department will notify the individual of the invalidation, and that person will not be eligible for a controlled trapping permit that year or in a succeeding year to which a waiting period applies.
02.Eligibility. Any person possessing a valid Idaho trapping license is eligible to apply for a controlled trapping unit permit.
03.Applications. Applications for controlled trapping permits will be made on a form prescribed by the Department. The Department will only consider applications received at the Headquarters Office of the Department or postmarked not later than September 15 of each year. Any application that is unreadable, has incomplete or incorrect trapping license numbers, or lacks mandatory information or fee will be declared void and will not be entered in the drawing. All applications will be considered final and cannot be resubmitted after correction.
a. No person may submit more than one (1) application per species for a controlled trapping permit.
b. No group applications will be accepted.
04.Controlled Trapping Permit Drawing.
a. Applications not drawn for the first choice unit will automatically be entered into a second choice drawing, provided the second choice applied for has not been filled.
b. If an insufficient number of "first choice" applications are received for a unit, remaining permits will be filled from applications listing the unit as a second choice.
c. Any permits left unfilled after the second choice drawing may be issued on a first-come-first-served basis.
05.Successful Applicants. Successful applicants will be notified by mail and must contact the person listed on the notice by October 14 to obtain the permit. The permittee, upon agreeing to follow trapping instructions for the unit, will be issued a permit.
06.Revocation of Permits. Any permittee who does not comply with Title 36, Idaho Code, administrative rules, or trapping unit instructions may have his permit revoked.
07.Alternative Permittee. Any revoked permit may be issued to an alternate, selected at the time of the drawing. If there is no alternate, or the alternate fails to comply with Subsection 150.05 above, the permit may be issued to the first eligible trapper answering a notification of vacant trapping Unit as approved by the Regional Supervisor.
