We did a beaver job on sand run up past glen Daniel amd we caught an otter there. I believe it was mattsville rd. Jerry traps alot of otter in other states and they don't make toilets like they do in other states. When ya get a little snow go look for tracks. They move ike crazy when the snows on like mink. Was it in shockey ridge road cause thats where i trap "You reap what you sow" Im 15 and still the best trapper in glenwhite

The main channel and set a 330 you will catch everything there. Do not catch all your beaver or you'll destroy the habitat for everything. I wouldn't take more than 2 out of the colony(in wv) or you'll be shooting yourself in the foot for next year. I went scouting yesterday an there was breaks in the dams and boot prints in the mus im pretty sure other trappers killed the beaver out which suck cause we dont have many beaver Remember they have a right to trap beaver just like you want to do. You being new be careful about criticizing the trappers in your area. I remember your comment about there dirt hole sets another time. Consider your just learning it looks kind of bad. A set that you see as poor may work very good for them because they understand it and know how it works.

Have you made one? I had a Pipe Dream set get destroyed with a coyote, so as a joke for the manager, I made a double wallowed out dirt hole set with the holes as eyes, placed the trap where the nose would go, put pine cones for ears, and put guide sticks in a smiley face, and transplanted some broomsedge for hair...and caught another coyote! My point is, don’t knock something until you yourself have proven it won’t work in your area. Heck, some well known used lures/baits don’t work for me, while others will.

WadeRyan trapper Joined: Jul 2012 Posts: 2,619 Nebraska	Originally Posted by Ethan1234 I want to catch lots of fur and i have plenty of property to trap i have about 100 to 400 acres how many traps should i have and there is alot of predators and i know how to make sets and bed traps i know there are a ton of predators everywhere i trap It's different around the country but here 400 acres holds about two coyotes and maybe a stray bobcat. I'd set two traps. It's not about how many traps to set. It's the true number of animals there. You can't catch what isn't there. Last edited by WadeRyan; 03/06/21 09:49 PM.
