I have the Weiser beaver bag. It appears to be the Montana bag with an additional set of pouches for 4oz lure jars.


They’re not cheap, but it would be one of the first purchases I’d make if I were gearing up for serious trapping. It was exceptionally durable for me. It withstood 5 years of pretty regular, year around use where it was either with me or in the bag of my truck before the first signs of wear and tear started showing up. The only real wear that eventually showed up was a few threads opening up, something easily fixed with heavy thread and a leather sewing needle. The beaver bag easily holds (4) 330s with metal stabilizers, setters, pliers, wire, and lure. The top is open with 2 loop handles. I close those loops by clipping a large carabiner clip that is also holding a bunch of coiled snares and/or extensions. When I needed more, I’d just clip a Second-loaded carabiner onto the first.


On the way out, yes, you can pack out beavers in the bag. However, I usually only carried one or two large beavers at a time and carried the rest by hand or dragged out. I never planned on climbing wet, steep banks with more than 1 beaver on my back at a time anyway.



I’ve used buckets and tool pouches for land trapping in the past, but those beaver bags can haul as much steel as a person really wants to carry on their back as long as they pack their equipment in such a way that it doesn’t tangle up.


Montana bags are worth the investment imo if you’re looking for that sort of thing. It was worth it to me when I needed it.

Same size, different lure pockets
