Guess you will re-pac those wheel bearings before next fall if you carried all that weight 150 X 30= just over two tons
Looks like the water levels were down in the lakes you were on.

Thanks for sharing your trips work

We split them up between two half ton trucks and a 14 foot trailer. The frame on my old rusty trapping truck ended up bending on the ride to the buyer haha

Yes water levels were way down after the dry summer we had it amazed me that some of these beaver were going to winter in the ponds with what little water they had. The low water made it possible to set channels and deep runs with conibears that you normally wouldn’t be able to. The low water really limited the beavers travel routs
