Here is 8 beaver in a fur bag in the bike trailer.Bagging 20(who wants to catch that many at once,lol) would not be a problem.I don't want a muddy mess when the time comes for skinning.

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

If I am catching a lot of coon in over freezing temps I spread them out in the back of the truck .

And the ones I catch In foot holds are collared and released and they bring me $99.00 each. I'm not killing them. LOL
And I'm betting the death ray Isn't taking down many coon as fast as blunt force trauma does.


I don’t chase them around the catch circle either. Tap them on the nose with the d handle on my trowel, put the DR on them and they never wake back up. Same with coons. It might take an extra minute and a half as opposed to shooting them, but I save way more time than that in the Fur shed not dealing with blood on the fur, or in the back of my truck.

Someone above suggested using newspapers for wet muskrats. That tip has been helpful for me this year.

The other day I Ieft a muskrat in the truck overnight and it froze to the cereal box I had it sitting on. Not fun when I went to pick it up and it was stuck to it.

Trying to tap a coyote on the nose In 6' CR is time consuming and some times A bit dangerous. LOL

CableAble surely has a more efficient method than others, but he traps more volume than anyone I know.
