Hey guys, I’m wondering what states offer the best beaver/ otter trapping? I know some places are much better then others, but I’m wondering what places make the top of the list? Where can you trap and never run out of good ground? Thanks!!
Ave don't go where the beaver don't flow

SC. No trappers In that state well not any that want to work at catching beaver In numbers. LOL Otter are just another nuisance type critter down there. Caught 82 In 2 months with out really trying. Once your known as a beaver trapper you won't be able to find any peace from the land owners.

In the15 years I trapped In SC and NC I only encountered 2 or 3 snakes In my travels. Jan and Feb aren't snake months. If a land owner had a beaver problem and you were having a hard time accessing the problem they would build you a road LOL

Mississippi. In my area, I make a little gas money trapping on row crop farms, cattle ponds and timber. Even do a little work on a fish farm that gives up 60+ inch otter
For by grace are you saved by faith, and not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.
