The bottom of your 750 looks like it's painted orange. What's the thought behind that?
Glad to see you got him.

Glad to see you got him. Yes, I paint the bottom of my 750s orange. Just one of the ways I mark my traps. Traps are very expensive, and if someone steals my traps, that's just one more step they have to take to cover it up. Beavers and Otters don't see the orange, at least not before it's too late.

<Doesn't everyone love it when everything smells like castor? As long as I'm beaver trapping, I'm happy!> Amen to that! On another note, I had a “lefty” situation this past fall with a Belisle 330.......never did reconnect. And we don’t have any gators to blame

What is a beaver torpedo? Essentially a floating log made with a short piece of PVC, capped, balanced to float upright with a support wire on the dorsal side. Dab castor on the tip and they circle it where a half submerged snare is waiting on em. Floating log set I can pack about 10 of and I can use em over and over. There are two. One uses a snare anchored separately and the other is all in one. For me, about as dependable of a set as it gets. Got any pics ? Got a large pond I just started but the area with the most tree damage is shallow, about knee deep.
