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

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?

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? Randy
