Thanks Les! I finished 2 days ago and already missing the beaver trapping!

We are in a drought, and I am not going to hit it too hard, but perhaps some other folks might, that's why I posted a thread, and I havent been on here much, so I am oblivious to any other beaver trapping that's been going on.

I did it a year or two ago too, lol, that old thread could still be found I think.

What a difference a year can make. Low water in spring always looks kinda pathetic to me!

There is no water to speak of, no river or creek across which you cannot walk somewhere in knee boots, no runoff, it's pathetical. A great year to just dont go and spin your wheels, up here, at least. I dont know about southern MN at all. No place to trap, nothing to make beaver move. 10" of rain would help, and ruin it for the farmers, lol.

I put a few sets out today. I took a spill and fell in right to my neck. It sure was a cold wind after that.

If it keeps up and becomes wide spread it will affect mrat production as well. It’s what happens when rats go up. Mother Nature s way of controlling supply. We are short water here too! It’s ugly

Sac oil on that set Les ?

Following. Get some more!

Thanks Les, I always enjoy your posts.

Checked out a new place today. Beautiful day so took the dog along and he found several otter toilets. He got a bath this evening and I'll get one later this evening. Also found two woodticks.....so far....

Castor based lure of my own making, so...yes to some degree

I see the wood ticks are out, lol.

Note that little breasting stick, parallell to the water , 1" above it, and over what would be the dog of the trap,

Ima keep with snares, set looks good though!

Nice video Les!

One down and nothing took my bait stick, sets remaid

Get um les!!
