Yesterday we were put setting for bobcat and I took my beaver traps along incase I found an area to set. We stop by an old beaver pond that no longer has beaver there and walked up the valley above it to set some cat traps. Low and behold there were beaver up the valley in another pond. I walked back to the truck and got my beaver traps and drowning cables. Got back up there and stated getting ready to place sets. So now I need a rock to put on my drowner . Went up and down and all around that valley and couldn't find a simple rock.
So I decided to try something I'd never done before and hook the trap solid just like I'd do with any other critter.
I made a castor mound set with a shaved stick for eye appeal and set the trap for a front foot catch. This morning I walked in to find that I indeed had him. Front foot in my duke number 4 sitting there waiting for me. 27LB

Awesome! Thanks for sharing the tale!


Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.
