Is it legal to trap and kill beavers without a permit by drowning the animal until death within a residential neighborhood?

Good morning, No, this activity would be illegal. In a residential neighborhood a person would need a nuisance animal removal permit issued by an IDNR district wildlife biologist to legally remove a beaver.
