Under the revised order a property owner or authorized designee may now take beaver, cottontail rabbit, fox squirrel, gray squirrel, ground squirrel, muskrat, opossum, red squirrel, and weasel all year on property owned by the individual without a license if the wild animal is doing damage or physically present where it could imminently cause damage to the individual’s property.
