Is it a baited snare, or just set on run?

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.

Wow that is a real low to the NE of you barametic pressure of 927 . Those beaver are not coming out of that house for a couple of days now with pressure gradients like that.

Glad to see you have a fish hook handle rope on the rear for that Opps moment.

Yep,50,it gets looped around the wrist at all times when in use-I aint swimming for an ice chisel,lol.
I'm done at that house,I know of a couple big houses near by that one,I may go set them up or trap them out with the canoe once the ice is gone in May.

Good job Boco.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

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.

82F today. Walked through thigh-high rye grass. Trapping in your conditions would be like trapping on another planet, but it sure would be cool—-at least for a little while. About 30 degrees Fahrenheit is about perfect trapping temps in my book.

Nicely done. Great looking beaver. Jealous of the ice.
