I'm planning a trip to the porkie pine mountains for beaver trapping . The main reason is where I live there is no beavers and when I was hiking I saw some great beaver country. since its my first time going after beavers I thought I'd ask you guys for some tips.
the harder the trail is the better the story

Make sets so you don't catch otters. Use some sense as to their travels.

Don't over think your sets but do the best you can the first time so you don't have to deal with educated beavers. Sounds like a great adventure in the making!

Good back pack or sled everything seems to get heavier and farther from truck when dealing with beavers.

When you get real frustrated just tell yourself their dumb rodents lol.
Take up smoking crack. Lots less addicting and better for your health than trapping
