Well, I bought land this winter that has beaver on it so I ordered 6 No-BS traps to go along with my 5-330s. I got slide locks and plan on making 1/2" rods next week. My question is about trap placement on castor mound sets. What is the set back and how to I position the trap? Thanks. I hope to clean them up so they stop cutting down the young aspen.
