In certain municipalities permitting discharge, no permit is required if the operator uses which combination of devices and methods?

• A. Using steel and live traps and firearms
• B. Using only traps
• C. Using pesticides only
• D. Using nets and traps

Answer: (A)

Discharge permit exemptions in some municipalities rely on the specific combination of tools and methods you use. The only mix that fits the exemption is using steel and live traps together with firearms, because this setup provides both capture capability and controlled dispatch under conditions that the jurisdiction recognizes as permit-exempt. Relying solely on traps, pesticides, or nets with traps either lacks the firearm component or involves methods that don’t meet the same exemption criteria, so those options don’t qualify for the permit-free discharge.
