Most of the beaver I am catching just don't give a dam.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Picked up a few that were causing problems, got some more to do. Not really looking for them for the fur.

I got two beavers two weekends ago and one beaver three weekends ago. This is the last weekend coming up in Region 7 of NYS. I hope to get more.

Been going for 2 weeks and have 33 so far. My first year spring beaver trapping. River went up after a big rain so I pulled all but 3 traps that I have on a pond. Hope to reset on Friday

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Looks about like here dahlgrhen. You still have a bit more snow then us for sure. Hoping to get out next week after them. Beautiful last few days here, supposed to cool off a bit for next 4-5 days now.

It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

I am. Only thing open right now. Got until April 12th. What else can you do these days? Cut up a few tails to make a batch of tail oil. Never tried it before but I have way to much time on my hands. This will be the first year I have all traps dyed and waxed and bait made before October 14th and season opens October 15. Lol. Loving the spring beaver this year. [Linked Image]

My Grandpa always told me, "You chase beaver in the fall, in the spring you let them come to you". I'm letting a few come to me.
