Does the rain affect it much especially this time of year? Most of my sets will be drowners or trapping the slide and cross overs. Also this was my first year beaver trapping. Any do’s and fonts this time of year? Thanks.

Rainy days are much cooler toting that beaver gear down in the swamp... Thank God For Your Blessings! Never Half-Arse Anything! Resource Protection Service

Beaver always move during and right after a rain to refresh their territorial boundary markers,raise their ponds(dam work) and work on the lodge. Make sure your traps are ready and your skinning knife sharp. Last edited by Boco; 05/03/19 11:14 AM. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
