I bet it was the yote hunters that were watching you that one day and you just thought the Beaver did it.

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.

Really smart beavers trick the snapping turtles into going first.

I have watched beaver throw body grippers with sticks and debris.

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,

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.

I have watched beavers take sticks and try and throw traps with them and if the traps dont throw they will take the trap by the hole at the end of the springs on a 330 and carry it up on their hut and pitch it off the hut to make the trap fire when it hits so him and his buddys wont get caught in it. Hows this for your boss charles. Its the biggest tale I could think of for the moment.

Charles, I've had them push 330's over and put mud on top of them. Of course that was after they welded the jaws shut on the trap.

Charles,,,Just do like some of the National media reporters have done. 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.
