I hate beaver trapping in summer....very minimal activity, especially with all the rain we're getting...high water. Took 5 nights for this beaver to decide to check the dam break. There might be another here...not sure.

I cant concentrate on beaver sign due to looking for cottonmouths at the water....and timber rattlers on the hill...

I don't have venomous snakes to worry about, but it's awfully rough trapping in this heat LOL.

Good job on a challenging situation


Just happy to be here.

Beaver was a 2 year old male. Had nice full castors and sacs for a 2 yr old.

I burn more fuel between beavers in the summer 4 sure. Got an annual service agreement on this property so Im in no rush. Beavers aren't causing any flooding issues....hard to estimate how many are on this drainage. I just needed to show the landowner that I've started. Gonna give it about 5 more checks and pull till cooler weather....before I get snake bit.

I hate watching for rattlers out here in 6” grass. Can’t imagine that! Thanks for posting

Some people need to brush up on their spelling Swampy,to avoid the confusion.Check has a different meaning than Cheque in the English language.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Swampy, don't let them get to ya. I understood exactly what you meant before opening the post. It's a southern thing you know. Sarge

Oh! I fully understand the heat and snakes. That's why we get paid well just for those reasons.


Getting old is a fatal mistake

Always looking for reloading componets

I know a beaver or two, because I've seen a beaver or two
