Took this local coyote killer on his first beaver trapping excursion. Weekend warrior style. We both took Friday off work and set a handful of 330s and a few #5s plus a bunch of rat floats.

Walking away from the second to last trap of the day and we heard it go off. Pulled up a whopper!

I can’t find the troll. You never told me trolls live in those things.

We're kind of in the banana belt of the Rocky Mountain states. Go a hundred miles in any direction and you might need snowshoes.

Thanks! Now if there was just someone nearby that was really good at clean skinning we could use a demo. I'm afraid my demo is going to take quite awhile so I figure it’ll take you just 10 hours to get here. I’ll have coffee ready.

Yeah I had to go review ADCs thread on trap diagrams for beginners before we headed out. Felt good to finally set some traps this season.

Way to go, glad you got to set some traps. I have two feet of snow in my yard and the river is froze over, I don't think any open water is in the near future.

That big beaver looks like a contender for the Trapperman Big Tail Contest.
