So I got a call from my uncle they lost about an acre of corn from beavers damming up the creek. I bought 2 330 1 bridge#5 and a dozen snares. My question is can I paint these traps I know not to wax them but I paint them to make them blend in better? Also gotta figure out how to set a snare. Should snares be camouflaged as well? Thanks guys any help is appreciated

Snares work good where the beavers are coming out of the water. Pint them a flat brown.

Get the factory oil off the traps and don't even worry about paint just get out and set them.

Just set them!


The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.
