Helping a landowner with a beaver problem. They are flooding his hay field and eating up his trees. IF I can't outsmart this sucker by the end of regular season next week, do I need to do anything special to keep trapping?
Do I need to contact the GW for a special permit or anything?
I have written permission from the land owner.
Thanks!

»»Trapping Seasons
All trapping devices must be clearly marked with
the owner’s name. All traps must be inspected
every 36 hours or less and animals removed.
When trapping on another’s property, the trapper
must carry on his or her person written permission
from the landowner, and make a written
report to the owner of any domestic animal
caught and pay damages for those animals.
Beaver, coyote, groundhog - Open year-round,
no limit.

I know a trapper who is "hard at it" and believes it all ends on Feb. 28.
Glad to find out the coyotes & beavers can be trapped year round.

Don't see how you can specifically trap for yotes? The same set will catch bobcats and foxes... So what do you do than?

gotta release them. TN requires rubber jawed "soft catch" traps.
