330's?

I had a castor mound that was definitely visited by a beaver but it went around my trap and came up from the side.

That's when a bit of fencing helps.9 times out of 10 when they go around the fencing to get to the castor scent,they will go thru the trap on the way out.

2 in 330's and 3 in blake double longs.4's--would use all 330's if i could but tis the law.

i fence and find places just wide enouh or make em that way.i seem to like to use a bigger log on on side sometimes.so much debris right now they dont notice.

these beaver are all at bridges not colonies.i'm targeting the ones looking for love or that mom just booted out to make room for babies.

another tip,and one that really helped a new trapper i talked to is look at that current in the water and where the still water is.the beaver are using that still water way way more and now you usually know what side they are using by that and have eliminated a lot of area.

Jtaddeo, are you sure your younger brother doesn't live in North Carolina on Turtle Island???. Great Pics. Sarge

As far as I know my brothers are still here in PA SGT C But my boys grew up in Concord N.C. with their mother mostly.

todays haul. my float paid off.

How come the one is missing his tail?

Oh man I like that a ton. The only way that's getting put out of commission is by freezing, which by looking at the forecasts is about over for us.

This freeze-thaw-freeze-thaw makes things pretty tough. I have to build some of these, thanks for posting this minkless.

Is there foam in between the 2X4's running up the sides? This whole apparatus floats then with castor lure in the PVC? Looks deadly!

I know of a couple nuisance beavers that I might have to try this on.

I have access to some serious "scrap" wood at the plant too...this will probably get out of hand pretty quick like....

landowner wanted to tan it for a knife sheath. hard to say no to 300 acres to trap on!

i got 2 i think have a chance to grade super blanket but we'll see.look really heavy-no flat females or bites i see.hogs to boot.300 yds across the swamp from the jeep and another 40 pounder.thinkin i must not have any blockages of any size after that.

This one was caught last night , in a fast moving creek. And is atleast 2 miles from a old beaver dam. Just smeared my beaver lure under a tree root and put a 330 in front of it.
And bingo

and i thought i trapped in the mountains.--you win.

Sweet pictures and catches guys! I'm working on lining up more "spots". I found another place to catch rats and mink, AND beavers.

Work kind of gets in the way though....

i have to go to Minot in a month for my sons wedding so i've pushed back my summer job till we get back.i sell lanscaping stone wholesale and with the warm weather would be getting ready now but get to trap beaver this year.--and with the fun i'm havin might just be a new thing.lifes to short .

I love floaters! 43 lbs #2 from this set

Nice! Floaters.....hahaha....awesome!

he have a heavy necklace??

still not sure how this dude got in here like he did but when i skint him it had broke both back legs and ripped a front shoulder out.
