Fish Report for 4-8-2010
Is it permissible to relocate pesky squirrels that are destroying or damaging private property?
4-8-2010
Carrie Wilson
No. Small nuisance mammals that are damaging property may be
taken by the owner but may not be released alive except in the immediate
area. Relocating nuisance wildlife not only relocates the problem but
also places the critter into an area where it has no established shelter
or food and water source, and could potentially spread disease. A
depredation permit may be issued for tree (gray) squirrels, unless it is
the gray squirrel season when hunters are allowed a four squirrel bag
and possession limit.
