When a construction company calls to have some beaver removed, you remove the beaver! Yup, in the middle of a shopping center, in the summer, I’m trapping beaver! Of course the picture is turned!

I was asked to trap a beaver that was blocking a concrete dam at a Girl Scouts camp. Got it too. Hard to set a trap on a concrete spillway.

most public I ever trapped was the county fair for 4 days before the chickens came into the barn called the warden expecting to have to jump some hoops to do it he said ok get a letter from the fair board stating you have permission to do it , carry that and your good with me

fair boar had that letter in my email in about 20 minutes

the fair board though they had weasel's from all the tracts in the dust. there were a lot of fears of grand champion birds without heads , that would not have been good


turned out to be a very active grey squirrel and 20 months of the barns not getting used at all.

pulled as all the chickens were being brought in.

you know not one person in that barn was anti trapping as I was pulling traps.

My first Georgia coyote was within a few hundred feet of a Kroger and right out the back door of a doctors office and within a literal stone's throw of I75. Matter of fact the bulk of my critters come from inside the 285 perimeter.

I've caught beaver at a very large mall. The management tried a animal rights group first , they wrapped the small trees near the waters edge with garbage bags thinking that would stop the damage. Nope.

Then a buddy and I caught over 2 dozen beaver in a week. This mall is huge with over 350 stores including 5 anchor stores , a 4 level parking garage , full food court and a full size carousel inside. This was all done in stealth mode , public never even knew we were there.

I've done work at a major university. Caught squirrels in their boiler house. Then had to walk through the quad with hundreds of students hanging out there with a squirrel in a cage trap covered in a garbage bag. The students stare at you because they know you don't belong there , but are obvious to the object in the garbage bag.

Certainly felt “out of place” walking up the bank with a beaver looking at restaurants, stores and a parking lot!

I'm waiting for the pic of the beaver in a shopping cart....lol

Urban high traffic areas can be tough but fun to trap because you are getting away with it and if you do it right , nobody is the wiser.
