LOL Seems strange we get new people In charge and all of a sudden we can trap 2 otter and we don't have to do the lottery thing. The DNR though that a trapper would be out trapping worthless coon In march and April so they decided we couldn't keep them. The mind set was just toss the incidentals.

Funny what happens when a few trappers show up and start asking questions when the state was doing the beaver management plan. Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...it's about learning to dance in the rain!

And what constituted a viable beaver dam was quite vague. In nature beavers build dams and dams are abandoned for whatever reason. The dam or parts of it remain in some cases for decades. Functioning as a dam or not you still could not place a trap within 15'. Lots of old abandoned beaver ponds are fur magnets and a lot of set opportunities were/are negated because of the 15' rule. Glad to see it go finally! Chris >>In God we trust<<

You guys will be whackin and stackin the beavers now.Great place to make and keep sets productive during the freeze up,break up season. Didnt you have a similar restriction setting the lodge entrances? Last edited by Boco; 06/14/20 01:31 PM. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
