Just curious to see what everyone has come up with for carrying out those pond pigs from way in deep. Mine is 2 cheap shotgun slings with small rope loops on the ends to put on the beavers feet so I can backpack them out.[Linked Image]

That looks pretty simple but smart on your part.

I bought a small critter carrier from Smokey's Trapping Supply. It uses a garden hose with wire rope in it

I use a fold up toboggan type sled. Didn't work for sledding in the snow, but works good for that.

If there is snow I just put a rope around the head and drag. With multiple beaver ad a short rope from back leg to head of the next beaver. Makes a train that drags very easy.

If one looks closely at this pic you see them beaver fleas making their way towards that nice luxurious and warm beard!

The problem I see with packing them out is they are usually wet inturn soaking the carrier. I use an Otter sled that I added nylon strips to the runners. I can load it with traps and equipment easily pull this across snow, grass or gravel.

Good thinking Tyler anything to reduce the load.
And 'peeler.... castor/urine dripping on the back of the hip boots...lol
Mine is similar to what AJE mentioned but it is definitely more than Tyler's....physical especially with two or more.

We use those type of “sleds” for deer as well. Had one until the boys hooked it to the 4-wheeler and took turns riding in it…across gravel and pavement. Doesn’t float well with holes in the bottom!

Yes a wet beaver on your back is the main problem with this carrier but I dry out pretty quick and I can only remember catching one beaver in the past that had fleas on it so maybe im just lucky!

I made two snare cables 12" long with loop on each end and slide it through a piece of garden hose to cushion the cable on you shoulder. They fit in your pocket and use for hit and run instead of the jet sled.

Usually a stick through the trap itself is a nice handle, even conibears are self made handle itself, but the critter hangs lower and drags......j

A good heavy canvas canoe pack with a Tump strap is the best thing to carry beaver out of the bush.3 or 4 will fit in if you got the stones to carry the weight.
I can still carry 2 big beaver in my canoe pack even at my age.
When younger I have carried up to 5 in the canoe pack.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I have two of them. Two are easier to carry than one.
