A state trapping license allows the holder to trap fur-bearing animals throughout the state. However, a trapper may not place traps on private property without permission of the owner, lessee, or tenant where the land is improved and apparently used, or where the land is fenced or enclosed in a manner designed to exclude intruders or to indicate a property boundary line, or where notice is given by posting in a conspicuous manner. A state trapping license is void on April 1st following the date of issuance. The fee for this license is thirty-six dollars for residents sixteen years of age or older, fifteen dollars for residents under sixteen years of age, and one hundred eighty dollars for nonresidents. The application fee is one hundred five dollars. [ 2011 c 339 s 29; 1991 sp.s. c 7 s 3; 1987 c 372 s 3; 1985 c 464 s 4; 1981 c 310 s 23. Prior: 1980 c 78 s 113; 1980 c 24 s 2; 1975 1st ex.s. c 15 s 28. Formerly RCW 77.32.191.]
