The only wrong answer to this is to not have a trap present when a beaver swims through. The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle. www.derricks-nm.com

It's usually the old female that figures things out the fastest and most permanently. The amount of beaver that won't get near a #330 (in high traffic trapping areas) would astonish most trappers who only use #330s. Same with Castor sets (to a lesser degree). I never shy away from areas where guys only use #330s and/ or Castor. The big ones are still there. That said, I don't think I've ever seen a pic on here of a properly brushed-in #330, either.

I agree 1000% about the 330s! Our beaver here already know what they are before you set them. I catch the majority of my beaver in snares.
