Landowners who have beavers that are doing damage to their property do not need a permit to take beavers to stop the damage. From dnr.state.min.us:
You can take some animals which are normally protected by Minnesota Statute without a license or permit if they are doing damage. If you are the landowner, manager or occupant of the property where the animal is causing damage, you can take the following animals.
