Trap Setter OP trapper Joined: Oct 2014 Posts: 4,187 Eau Claire Wi	I caught my biggest on a damage control project this weekend at 60.2 lbs. Here he is next to The Boy. My back is glad it was near the road lol. Had some nice full castors too but I'm going to wait to weigh them till they are dry. I know it's not the biggest one as my dad caught one that would have dwarfed him. What's your biggest. (Best guess if you didn't weigh it) Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

Caught several that were in the 60+ pound range. I love trapping beaver although it has been years since I have. 16 in one day was my best days catch and it was a blast! And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement!
