What do you have to do to get one

Just paperwork for Ohio.

NC you take a test. FL there isn't one. Used to be until Fish and Wildlife gave it up to Dept. of Agriculture. I'm sure there will be one again this year sometime soon with a nice license fee attached to it. They do make you have a General Household Pesticide license to snap trap rats. I think it's a joke since there are no pesticides involved.

you mean i could have been doing ADC in florida all winter???? dang.... wish i would have known that. had a few people ask me to.

Yup. No trapping inside the attic but outside. Have to be a resident and have a tax license though.

Just paperwork here in Maine as well!

24\7 trapper,
A little info on OHIO Nuisance Wild Animal regulations. Check with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources for further information.

Me and 24/7 wanted to start a small ADC group. Just removing of pests from people's gardens. Mainly live box traps and some air gunning of the animals so it is quiet and we can eliminate them in town. Some elder people have gardens and complain about rabbits or coons and other animals getting into them.

Don't forget to charge enough. Us elderly people might be tight but as Ron White would say "We are lo-lo-loaded!"

We don't plan on charging at first. Just get started and to help some people out

Oh no the free word , why would you think you need a lic to play Rambo , take a picture of your buddy's face after he shoots a ground hog with that air gun and post it

? Not sure what that means, 24/7 does more trapping, and I myself do more airgun hunting.

I caught a groundhog in a leg hold and dispatched him with one hollow point from 15 feet away?

I have the smallest caliber air rifle available also (.177)

I plan on getting a .22 or .25 PCP.

I have seen pictures of hogs, deer, coyote, and bison taken with airguns.

Please don't under estimate the power of them -.-

does anybody know if i would need one in michigan if i was just setting traps for a few pesky coon?

for all of you beginners; Check with your DNR. Every state is different. What is legal in one state is not in another. Keep your self out of trouble. Do not make the rest of us look bad by doing something illegal.

If your just helping out a friend and not charging any thing or trade then you just need your small game and trapping lic , even if you do charge and get your control permit you still need your small game lic and trappers lic if your trapping that is . Some people would say I'm wrong on this but if you watched bob garner on meet the DNR last week they went over this . Don't be catching non target animals when your coon trapping we came very close to loosing are conibears last year because of non target catch . Be carful and enjoy yourself you don't need drama mom on you because her cat she just let's run free gets hung up in your sets , don't use fish or meat only use sweet stuff it works better anyway .

Problem is your not hunting , when you pop him with the air gun or shot gun hes going to run down the hole and then there's a dead animal problem . Trust me been there ,You can't just start shooting animals on site people are going to start crying there eyes out then tell all there friends how bad it was . You got to think when your doing damage control . If your trapping ground hogs make sure he's in the shade they can't take the sun for more than two hours, people will be upset if there something dead in there yard drawing flys . It's also not right for the animal ,treat the animal with respect give him what he needs it's only right, if you wish to hunt ground hog talk to the farmers there all for that stuff . Might even make a friend out of him , good to have farmer friends , I just say coon trapper there like come on

Thanks for the info pesky

Law does go into effect Jul 1st 2012. There is no book on the market to study and I am told the test has not been written. We have been exempt from current law to date because no system is no place to test and certify us.
