If you don't own a thermal, borrow or buy one and hunt at night.
If not, hunt about a hour and a half after it gets light enough to see and about the same before sunset

They will be close to water I would imagine in July

Good morning

Loosen up that beaver tail wallet and buy a couple. A couple years ago I set a bunch of #4 vic double longs because that was my first set of beaver traps. I had a hoot setting and catching; but with fiberglass drowning rods this time around instead of wire, stakes and locks.
You can't let your wife spend all that strawberry money

Last week at 76 degrees and 37% humidity, I speed dipped a bunch of old and new 330s. They dried within an hour.

Today I speed dipped a bunch of 1 1/2 coilsprings. It was about 80 degrees but the humidity was 76%. I was sweating buckets but the traps dried within 30 minutes. This makes me think humidity isn’t a factor—as it’s a Coleman lantern fuel and oil based paint type product to begin with.

Air movement helps. Between the wind blowing thru my garage and the shop vac blower, the drying time was short. If there’s any odor, it should be completely gone by trapping season.

We: my partner and I, have used the Z-trap cages made for beaver. We couldn’t get the beavers up on the bank but had no problems in shallow water. Neil Ziegman, the developer of the Z-beaver cage trap video’d beavers getting caught in his cages. Call him and I’m sure he’ll share his videos.

LOL IF you don't have faith in something, you just wander in nowhere land.

Seeing I got no (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) ...to hold up my tweeds....

I've been a Deluth suspender guy.

These have plastic hooks ...that hook onto your belt..

And they attach on your left and right sides.

?? Is it new ??

Last year I bought some old victor low levers and attempted to put lip stick on a pig as the saying goes. However I kept the pans and while messing with some other traps yesterday I found those #3 pans and said I bet these will fit my bridger 1.65s and they do! My original plan was catching traps but now im thinking maybe a better mink trap . I'll post pictures as soon as I figure out how

Thats not "milking the system" it is the system.The system is set up to help seasonal workers.Alot of places people call home in remote Canada need that system.
We are not the USA.And never will be.
