do you have a photo of the traps set up?

this is very useful information for me

Thanks ADC!

I will never use slim locks for coyote again. They aren’t very reliable for a quick kill. Usually still alive and have bad jelly head. The set is usually tore up good too. Micro lock with compression spring works good for me

Before I'd use a Micro lock, I'd quit snaring !

Couple things, if you are trying to be less lethal because you are close to domestics or town, don’t snare there! That and three day checks and snaring comes with complications that others have already addressed. Either way seems like a hard pass, unless there are reasons that you have not shared with us yet. Poor strategies utilizing snares have led to many states altering or outlawing snaring.

I'd like to help but I can't figure out what you are hoping to accomplish.

There are two styles of snares essentially, snares designed to kill whatever they catch ASAP, and snares aka cable restraints that are designed to hold the animals alive until the trapper gets there to release or dispatch it. Both designs rely on the placement of the snare ie. entanglement or not, and snare length as well as anchoring.

thanks ADS. I'm interested in the question. how to assemble a beaver trap with these details

I don’t speak Russian so I can’t follow those links. I have only found two ways to lethally snare beaver, and they both rely on water. Either securing a snare to a typical submersion rig or by using entanglement. With entanglement, it has been my experience that you can accomplish this with shallower water. For entanglement, you want something they’re going to wrap and tangle up on, so while you could fashion something in the field if you’re creative, I generally choose to bring something premade with me. I like 1/2” rebar with a crosspiece welded to it. The crosspiece goes as deep as possible as long as there’s at least a foot or so clearance so that they can swim underneath—Very important. This setup is basically like some coyote killpoles, but I also add a couple features for my own personal needs. The principle is sound. They wrap up and are unable to reach the surface. These are valuable tools for damage control beaver work.
