Most beaver i encounter that are scared of 330's are scared of ANYTHING out of the ordinary that wasn't there the night before be it a single stick sticking up, a snare, whatever! Anything above water they can see, why I own large footholds. Not my circus, not my clowns.

Going back up to Paul's post about beavers tail slapping a body gripper, I have a little experience with that also. However, I have tail snared numbers of beaver. Tails slapping is not the only reason this occurs, but I believe it is the most frequent cause. And, Yes, I have watched a beaver tail slap a snare, and catch himself. Later, 45/70,

JerryD trapper J Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 1,569 Redgranite Wisconsin	Originally Posted By: j lord i'm sorry but i just can't give that much credit to a beaver, a rodent with a brain the size of a walnut imo, is not going to think "i bet if i hit these two little metal sticks with this soft chewy stick that i can make this 'trap' close and it won't be able to hurt me or my kids and we can swim around all we want". now get accustomed to seeing a square object that "the last time i got close to one of these things it almost bit me", yeah i can believe that. you folks that have had "square" 330 conni shy beaver ever tried a RBG and see what happens?? i set a square one in a den entrance and that beaver didnt go near her den for three days, i put a RBG in place of the square one and i caught her two nights later. I had a family of beaver that I trapped this season I caught the kits and a couple of 1-2 year old beaver but mom and dad avoided the 330's set in runs and crossovers like the plague. I set 2 660's further back from the runs and and caught the adults in two nights one after the other. I definitely believe changing the shape or outline is what caught those beaver. A little bit of pain never hurt anyone.

Hows this for your boss charles. Its the biggest tale I could think of for the moment.

Tell the boss that you have learned from a reliable source of a secret scientific study that shows definitive proof that: beavers intentionally ram sticks into traps. All paperwork and pictures were shredded in an apparent coverup. Also let the boss know: that 7 out of 10 people make up 70% of the population. Rickey
