Snare pole is the bait-poplar.Same set up as Jim Gibb's video except I score my poles. One pole was in a run the other outside the feedbed.

Nice job Boco...them beavers are sick of eating sour bark....Can’t resist a fresh piece of poplar right now.
It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

Yep a nice green fresh poplar(aspen) about as thick as your wrist right now to a beaver is like waving a t-bone steak in front of a starving rottwiler. I find a thicker pole is better for snaring.You can get them with a thin pole,but you will get more misses if they can cut it thru from one spot.A thick pole will get them to circle so less a chance of a miss.If you look close one of the beaver has 2 snares on him right around the chest from circling close to the pole.
