Well I put 3 sets in this pond 3 days ago all were 330s, I had no idea of what I was doing but gave it a try. The pond is frozen so I put one set in the stream that feeds the pond. This morning to my surprise I had a big ole beaver in the trap. Thanks for the advice on the other thread. Now I'm hooked but we don't have a lot of places to trap beaver [Linked Image]

Looks like a nice pelt.


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

Yea my 10 yr old is eat up with trapping this year. He was definitely excited. A question for you beaver guys, when I got it out of the water and rubbed it across the snow I noticed what looked to be red colored fleas popping up on the fur. Is this common?

Fairly common for beaver to have beaver beetles on them. Some have more than others.

They are host specific and won't hurt you or stay on you long. Once I learned that, I quit paying attention to them.

Are you trapping these in Tennessee or Ohio?
