To allow for certification, WDFW has created an online test. Certifications are done manually and the email may take until the end of the next business day to be received. For those who do not pass, they can retake the test after seven days. All bobcat and river otter pelts, on or off the carcass, must be presented by the person harvesting them to an authorized department employee or authorized individual under permit with the department for sealing by April Pelts must be presented in a way that the hide can be sealed.
No frozen hides or carcasses will be accepted. Contact a regional office to schedule an appointment for pelt sealing wdfw. Trappers shall attach to the chain of their traps or devices a legible metal tag with either their WDFW identification number trapper ID or Wild ID or the name and address of the trapper in English letters not less than one-eighth inch in height. Failure to identify traps is an infraction punishable under RCW When a property owner, lessee, or tenant presents a trapper identification number to WDFW and requests the identification of the trapper, WDFW shall provide the requestor with the name and address of the trapper.
See RCW A state trapping license allows the holder to trap furbearing 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.
Most public lands are open to trapping, but some areas may be closed. Closed areas include, but are not limited to, state and national parks, most federal wildlife refuges, and state game reserves.
Trappers should check with land managers prior to trapping. All licensed trappers must report their trapping activity regardless of success or whether they trapped or not by April Try to educate your friends and neighbors about the problems associated with feeding coyotes.
Keep garbage can lids on tight by securing them with rope, chain, bungee cords, or weights. Better yet, buy quality garbage cans with clamps or other mechanisms that hold lids on. To prevent tipping, secure the side handles to metal or wooden stakes driven into the ground. Or keep your cans in tight-fitting bins, a shed, or a garage.
Prevent access to fruit and compost. Keep fruit trees fenced, or pick up fruit that falls to the ground. Keep compost piles within a fenced area or securely covered. Cover new compost material with soil or lime to prevent it from smelling.
Never include animal matter in your compost; it attracts coyotes. Feed dogs and cats indoors. If you must feed your pets outside, do so in the morning or at midday, and pick up food, water bowls, leftovers, and spilled food well before dark every day.
Coyotes prey on these cats as well as any feed you leave out for the feral cats. Prevent the buildup of feeder foods under bird feeders. Coyotes will eat bird food and are attracted to the many birds and rodents that come to feeders. Keep dogs and cats indoors, especially from dusk to dawn. If left outside at night in an unprotected area, cats and small to mid-size dogs may be killed by coyotes.
Pets can be easy prey for coyotes. Being raised by humans leaves them unsuspecting once they leave the safety of your home. If you suspect losing a dog or cat to a coyote, notify your neighbors. Once a coyote finds easy prey it will continually hunt in the area.
Keep deterrents nearby in times of increased sightings. An old hockey stick, broom, or a pile of stones near the play area can help prepare children for an encounter and will remind them of effective encounter behavior.
Build a coyote-proof fence. Their tendency to climb will depend on the individual animal and its motivation. A 5-foot woven-wire fence with extenders facing outward at the top of each post should prevent coyotes from climbing over Fig.
However, all coyotes are excellent diggers, and an effective fence needs to extend at least 8 inches below the surface, or have a galvanized-wire apron that extends out from the fence at least 15 inches Fig. Electric fences can also keep coyotes out of an enclosed area Figs. Alternatively, install a commercial device to prevent coyotes from being able to get the foothold necessary to hoist them over a fence Fig.
Enclose poultry chickens, ducks, and turkeys in a secure outdoor pen and house. Coyotes will eat poultry and their eggs if they can get to them. Permits are issued for big game, furbearer trapping, game bird and sport fishing. The BLM is a multi-use agency.
Other visitors may be using the same areas for recreation activities such as camping, hiking, biking, and swimming.
