This is a crude drawing of a set a high numbers otter trapper showed me. He was trapping mostly boat houses and private docks where otter were a problem. I used it on a couple of occasions for both beaver and otter. It’s an L shaped shelf the trap rests upon. For beaver just a dab of castor or a food/curiosity lure on the top edge. The beaver or otter gets close and sets a foot down. When it pulls away the weight comes off the nail and because the chain won’t reach the bottom they are suspended under water. I did use more weight than the 5-10 pounds shown in the drawing. 15-20 pounds for beaver.

When I needed to make a lot I used both of the bells I have. Still a slow process but speeds not the goal slow and gentle is best. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2026/01/full-18408-283851-dirt.jpg) Course dirt is the goal.

Here's the ones I made, built to last 1"X2"X12.5ga 36 long wire 14X14 cages the wire is coated after it welded "galvanized/zinc" coated 22 cages out of a 100 ft roll. I used a 15" X100ft thin roll to cut down on waste that way. I just trimmed an inch off of the 15 in wide roll and I had a back cover piece then cut a front piece that allowed for more cage blanks and extra cages being made. If a guy preferred he could cover the back and bottom with one continuous allowing for more main cage blanks. I used blunt 12ga hog rings to avoid fur damage also.

I know many would say I’m wrong in doing this. But I just cut the ears off. I sold all my coyotes that way at the North American fur harvest auction last June. I didn’t do too bad on them compared to all the other lots. Even too lotted on my skunk. So hopefully I’m doing it right.

I was definitely surprised by the new rifle regs, or rather lack of them.
You can use .50BMG for deer in IN now. Assuming you can find ammo that is not FMJ.
If you can find a rifle that shoots 25ACP that is also legal.
Basically everything .22 and up in centerfire. I have no problem with it, I like to think deer hunters can be trusted to choose wisely and use something safe and effective for the situation at hand.

I was drilling a water well in a new development in east Fishkill, NY when a co worker told me. I could see the east Fishkill ibm plant below. In the '60's IBM put 250 chemicals in the ground to dispose of them. Our company drilled more than a hundred test and recovery wells there. I remember thinking there's no way in heck I would drink that water

Clintons are easy to dislike but this was old news and debunked way last February. Most likely brought up now to take pressure off of current happenings.

Bobcat will feed on coon and fox carcasses, but beaver and muskrat are certainly preferred.
I have a few bobcats coming in my yard where I chuck some carcasses. They will cover the coon and fox with grass and munch on them a little. Smaller stuff gets dragged off. Beaver disappears super fast.
Otter doesn’t get eaten but you can see where they sink their teeth into it, probably like a curiosity sort of thing, the same way a house cat rubs again and bites stuff. They will rot though.

It’s 10 inches at the widest point so a 7” is as big as you can use on a normal body grip land trapping because the diagonal is just under at 9.899”. You’ll have much more area on a 10” circle. i think its pretty standard that they measure horizontally or vertically but i could be wrong ... That's how they are measured here. I've never heard of measuring them diagonally. But I think they are actually a little larger than a 10" circle, in actual measurement. The 280's are a little bigger than 8" actual outside measurement, so illegal on land here. Either way if you find them to be legal they would be worth trying.

Hey guys, need some advice. Years back I posted on here about making my own bait. You guys gave me some great advice. Since then I have been using bobcat meat with Jameson Sun Rendered Fish Oil. It’s been awesome. Today I got a new shipment of fish oil and bobcat meat. The fish oil was different in this shipment. Instead of having an “oil” type consistency it is more like a paste. It also has an unpleasant smell to my nose. Anyone ever seen this? Should I still use it or call? I hate being that guy who complains.

Jack Kevorkian was arrested for it a few years ago. Yet here we are, Assisted suicide, legally termed “medical aid in dying” (MAID), is legal in twelve US jurisdictions as of 2025: California, Colorado, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Montana, Maine, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington. However, 40 states affirmatively prohibit assisted suicide and impose criminal penalties on anyone who helps another person end their life. Delaware’s landmark End of Life Options Law, signed in May 2025 and effective January 1, 2026, makes it the newest jurisdiction to legalize medical aid in dying and expands the role of advanced practice registered nurses in prescribing life-ending medication.

Out in the sagebrush country of eastern Oregon a lot of the good cat trappers focus on setting up the culverts in the two tracks. Many culverts out there have holes in them for snare supports.
