I guess those beavs can still get it done with only 3 legs a piece. Where's there a will, there's a way!!
Those pixs from today? If so, you haven't had enough freezes to kill that pond algae...?

I cant understand how people that do that are allowed a trapping licence. I am surprised that North Carolina requires a trapping license. That would be like Ontario requiring a mosquito swatting license.

That's cool! How did you catch the tripods? I've caught Beaver that I've educated so I can understand how that would happen. I can't believe how much duckweed there is on that swamp this time of year For just beaver trapping, footholds. Footholds are kind of like in the Karate kid, Miyagi and the Crane. If done properly there is no defense. 90% + of all my beaver are caught in footholds. Bodygrips catch everything. If I catch a nutria, turtle, otter then I ain't catching beaver. Sometimes I have to long chain but the best is to use a drowning rod. And of course the secret sauce ( Backbreaker).

I cant understand how people that do that are allowed a trapping licence. Got to learn somehow, if trappers would teach more instead of trying to keep secrets it would not happen often. I will show anyone how, then its just will power and stamina and a work ethic for them to excel. I still have a will, and I think a good work ethic but my dang stamina is leaving. I really wanted to make a 1000 year beaver and a 200 year otter, ain't looking so good anymore.

It amazes me the immune system beaver and rats must have to heal after the battle wounds, severed limbs, faces nearly shot off w/ a shotgun etc and heal up and just go on keepn on... TOUGH! Caught this one last year. The land owners shot it a couple times in deer season and said they know that they killed it cause it didnt surface again. All the fresh cuttings told me different. Told them I’d trap if they quit trying to shoot them. Caught the pair the first night. Those stubs are usually tough to catch

Yep,nothing says "professionl Fur Harvester" like continually ripping the front feet off of beaver because you don't know how to make a proper set.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
