Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

(a) Commission to Regulate
Issuance and Fee. Whenever the commission declares an open season on beaver,
said commission may pursuantly regulate the issuance of special beaver tags to
licensed trappers, including the maximum number to be issued to any one (1)
person and the price to be paid for each of same, provided that the fee for
such tag shall not exceed the fee as specified in section 36-416, Idaho Code.
(b) Tag to be Attached -- Authority for Sale of. When a properly licensed
person kills a beaver, for which a tag is required, such a person shall
immediately affix such tag in the manner prescribed by rule of the commission.
After any beaver pelt has been so tagged, the same shall become the property
of the trapper and may be sold, transferred or shipped in ordinary trade.
(c) Tag Must be Carried on Person. No person shall take, trap or kill any
beaver for which such a tag is required unless he has the tag on his person
and any such tag so issued shall at all times be subject to the inspection of
the director.
(d) Beaver Unlawfully Taken, Possessed -- Subject to Seizure. The
possession of any beaver or pelt therefrom taken in contravention to the
provisions of this section is prima facie evidence that the same has been
unlawfully taken and any such beaver or pelt so taken shall remain the
property of the state of Idaho. The director may at any time seize as
contraband any beaver or pelt therefrom which may have been taken, killed,
trapped or held in possession unlawfully; such seized beaver or pelts
therefrom shall be sold by the director and the proceeds derived therefrom
shall be credited to the fish and game fund.
