Good job! Try to get a weight on it or total inches when put up!

So we stayed away from the lodge and set drowning rigs with Woodchipper as the lure and a couple 330s in necked down ditches with food lures. Figure zget the easy ones before we knock on their doors and set the lodge entries, to hopefully keep from spooking them and making them harder to catch. Is my thought process atleast somewhat correct?


Giant on the first check using Woodchipper and some apple oil. And he is wearing a NO BS Beaver Trap for a bracelet. Thats a size 13 boot on his tail for size reference. Havent weighed it yet.

A friend once asked me to trap his pond, which was on an old girl scout camp. The dam and lower half of the pond were all concrete. The pond was spring fed. I took a 330 to the overflow and used several cinder blocks to make a runway from the pond down to the overflow point. Caught all the beaver.

Well it weighed in at just a touch under 60 pounds, sure looked and felt bigger but didnt have another scale to get a second opinion.
