This is way I get the money I asked for when doing ADC beaver trapping or someone else can do it. I don't work cheaply
And yes a .22 with rat shot works great. I have enough on hand to last for years. This time of year, I'm always packing. Pistol goes in my pocket before ever leaving the truck. Sarge
Getting old is a fatal mistake
Always looking for reloading componets
I know a beaver or two, because I've seen a beaver or two

Do you keep the beaver hides and if so what months do you start and finish skinning them out? We have more copperheads here, had to kill one that bit my dog.. I spend a lot of time fishing but see very few moccasins. Did have a big rattler in the yard once, that was first one I ever saw in the wild. I haven't skinned a beaver in many years. I feed them to the bobcats and bears. Phil this site isn't far from you. I'd guess it's about 10 miles or less north of Washington. Have you heard of the J&W? It's in there with about ten other sites I'm working.

The one cottonmouth that bite me was one I did not see it was in weeds along the shore of a lake. That was back in the state of MA in the mid 70's ,Over here I see copperheads. They go there way and so far let me alone. Had one swim out in front of me in a river I was walking up when fishing.

Yup I know where it is. It's huge. What do beaver eat in those big pine farms? There are sweet gum, maple and merkle bushes along the canals and ditches. They'll eat on some pines too.

Cottonmouths have seemed to replace all our rattlesnakes. Most all snakes get a pass on certain properties I frequent except cottonmouths...they all die! Haven’t seen a copperhead in years now, doesn’t mean I haven’t walked over or near them, just haven’t seen them.

Being that I live /trap creek bottoms. I see snakes pretty regularly, I normally have a couple of snake shots loaded in my .22 revolver along with hollow points. So that way I can roll the cylinder around shoot the snake and walk on.

I am opposed to killing most venomous snakes, however If I had to trap in those southern swamps I would kill every cottonmouth that I came across. Once in awhile I come across a timber rattler and they want to get away from me, and that's OK with me..God Bless you Paul, you just would not find me wading through those southern swamps. Cottonmouths, big spiders, and gators are not for me. You forgot the alligator snapping turtles. Anything that can live for two days with a 330 around it's neck underwater and crawl off when you release it is a bad dude.

You can cut the head off one of them snappers,,and an hour later the head will still bite ya.
