Is Beaver Trapping Legal...

[tacklejunkie]

this time of year? i was walking along a local creek and I came across one dead beaver in a trap and another set trap. Can they be trapped this time of year or should I alert the DNR?

I believe the season goes until mid may.

 

Could be other issues if the beaver had been dead a long time and its apparent they hadn't been checking their traps very often or if the traps did not include the required identification info but I don't think there is an issue with the season.
