No person may take a beaver to control damage to property or resources outside of the seasons and bag limits established in 5 AAC 84 without first obtaining a permit from the department, issued under the following conditions:
- (1) the commissioner or the commissioner's designee may limit the area, time period, method and means, and number of beavers to be taken;
- (2) a permit may only be issued at a time when, and for a place where, the commissioner has determined beavers are creating significant problems and that trapping otherwise authorized in 5 AAC 84 is unlikely to alleviate the problem;
- (3) a person taking a beaver under this section shall submit the skin for sealing in accordance with 5 AAC 92.170.
