No showing him how to set multiples in the entrance run-doesnt have to be winter.Most entrance runs in beaver houses are wide enough for two sometimes 3 traps.And you can set a couple in series also to clean up. He said the entrance run was wide.

Good….Cuz he lives in Texas…lol Den entrance set is paydirt,.Not only for cleaning out the beaver,but one of the deadly go to sets to take the educated last nuisance beaver in summer.That and the dam break which can also be set with multiple traps for multiple catches in one check.

If the water is too deep for the metal stands you can wire an extension pole on one arm,or use poles for tee pee sets side by side. We always used poles before Arthur started making his 5 foot stands.

I took a bunch of pictures last year of some nuisance beaver colonys that I wiped out,to show what to feel for when looking for entrance runs under water.We always feel for the sharp bank at each side.Most are quite wide-wide enough to easily set 3 or 4 traps side by side-a lot less work and much more productive than trying to fence it off for just one trap. This main entrance here would have ben under 4+ feet of water before I cleaned them out and returned the water to natural flow.
