Skunk, beavers, woodchuck and pocket gophers are keeping me busy right now.

Trapper Daulgren. , I have been looking for plans for your type of skunk trap. What size of pipe do you use, Is the trigger linkage on the outside , or in the pipe. I have bees, the skunks are eatin them up. I have a coon box trap , works ok , but heavy and tricky , to get them out of. Will this size also handle coon.. Hope you don't mind me asking, old 243

I’ve got a job with the Iron country road commission, they told me they had big issues with beaver, but so far I haven’t had any calls from them yet confused

I’ve noticed that the beaver all over here seem to be moving. I caught a single 2 yr old from a pond with a big lodge and a huge feed bed, but after the thaw they seem to have moved out. I had set for them back in April, and none of the sets connected(except for accidental muskrats). There were also no fresh cuttings. Also was talking to a guy I know who said that the beaver moved out of his pond as well. Couldn’t have been trapped out, any theories?


May God bless you and give you tight chains

Do you do any action photos of the pepe depopulating or just going to show the tube traps...?
