You have no fur market for your beaver, except the hatter market (like Newt said). So you don't have to worry bout damage as they pay by the pound.

Any damage on a decent beaver pelt in todays market drastically reduces the price. A 40 dollar beaver will be a 15 dollar beaver if it has dmg.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I can honestly say in the hundreds of beaver Ive caught n my life, nearly all were snared on the bank on land. I can't swim and that is how I learned to trap beaver when I was a kid. I wasn't strong enough to set big beaver traps either. Man I have piled up a lot of beaver just cutting a slot at edge of water and making artificial castor mounds with snares. Slides, trails, dam crossovers, narrow channels and little feeder creeks. For summer acreage damage jobs with kids and pets around, can't beat snares for safety and efficiency. Got my self more coon and coyote trapping access just by snaring a landowners problem beaver than I can even count. I'm a big fan of snares for beaver and great way to teach kids how to trap beaver too. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
