I was always under the assumption that they couldn't trap until after the fur season......what's the deal with that....traps in today, signs posted....mine were put in Sunday, about 30 yards in

looks to me they're not trapping "nuisance animals"...but for profit trapping...as its just a feeder creek in the national forest...0 beaver sign, but I set for travelers because I drive past it anyway

I am not a fan of the use of them to remove beaver without at first trying to find a local trapper to do it. However, in fairness to them most of them in my area are very effective.

I believe Trout Unlimited Is bank rolling part of It. And I talked to a DNR fisheries person and was told the WI DNR also funds the USDA to the tune of around a million dollars per year. Not sure If this Is trure or not but I heard that It costs about $400.00 to have each bereave removed from the problem area. The sad part Is that these beaver are more or less wasted as to using the fur. And you can bet your bottom dollar that most beaver are left In the bush along with lots of otter.
Seems to me they should put these problem beaver areas up for bids. I know lots of trappers would jump at the chance to get paid $400.00 per beaver.
