hunting animals which are not mentioned in the hunting relulations?

Gents,
Is it possible that the "hunting regulations" we can download from the MNR website is just the short version of the "fish and wildlife conservation act"?

That act mentions the hunting season for beaver and otter. Does it mean I can hunt beaver with the small game license? Or I'm completely confused?
"Traping" seems to be a full fledged profession, with licensing, rights and responsibilities (like mandatory quota)

You need a trappers license.
By the way, beaver tastes really good!

Hunting Non mentioned Animals
Check it out they are fur bearers and you need a trapping license . Wasn't it covered in your hunting license course. It was in mine back in 67-68.

FYI - Often, even with a trappers liscence, you need to actually trap them. You can't just be a liscenced trapper and go out shooting furbearers.
Yes, very moist isn't it
you are correct.. the MNR regs are just a summary.. even the WMU boarders are in a regulation somewhere..

Mmmm... Beaver...which type of Beaver are you guys talking about??
Not true, in ontario you can hunt furbearing animals with the authority of a trapping license on a registered trapline(many trappers will carry a .22 mag for this reason). Beaver of the animal kind is greasy like bear meat, i've tried it twice cooked differently, first time it was horrible, second time it was ok but nothing special. Muskrat imo is much better, and very lean. I've been told muskrat sells for $75-90 a plate in southern ontario at rich restaurants as a swamp special.

The hairy kind
I like the short haired and hairless variety
Back to the original question. How to capture and properly consume a beaver can be debated forever. Can't find groundhogs, badgers, cougars, martens, caribou, polar bear etc etc. Some are legal some aren't, but they all live in Ontario. Does anyone have a link to more detailed Ont hunting regs?

Beavers are just tree eating land flooding machines
Thats correct you need to have a registered trap line, that must be posted. And you need to apply for a liscense. They do give out liscencs if you have a l ine to trap them on. There is a quota I believe you must mantain. You can only trap beavers in a trap. they sell the pelts and also remove nusiance gritters from dry land thats been turned into wetlands by tree eating machines. I would like to know if you can shoot them on private land if they are destroying property by flooding it and cutting down healthy trees. Or I suppose you hire the trapper to do it legally.
