Beavers know about Corn around here.
A half or whole ear of Corn placed in a pocket does the trick for me.

We gota lot of corn around here. They actually make some of their dams out of corn stalks.

I have given this a little thought, as I am a front foot target trapper most every time. I've had beaver missing a front foot, or both at times. The rarest set I make is in 10" of water for the hindfoot.

I have had good luck with trap shy beavers by setting on their fresh mud pies but lacing it with bladder urine from a beaver from a different area.

That's a good question AIX. I haven't witnessed how they motor around on land without front feet. But if they are missing front feet, it will mess with you for sure, lol.



Gary, I cant remember which pic you might be referring to so here is a couple. Shallow water front foot sets.

I rarely to almost never, make a fake mud mound, fresh , all slicked up, and set a trap there. That would be a change up for me. I make a zillion bait stick and castor sets without a mound, just for ice out trapping .
