I planted about an acre of turnips for deer this year after we harvested the sorghum cane and made molasses. Set up a trail cam a few weeks ago to see deer activity and have pics of beaver every night. Closest creek is roughly 75 yards away. Is there any dry land sets for beaver? They have a well established trail but I can't set the slide to the creek it's over the property line.

Body grips not allowed in mo on dry land.

I imagine you could snare them couldn't you?

Winner if legal. If not blind trail set with foot hold may do it

Both of those work...

I've snared 2 beaver coming up a 40 yard very steep bank I did not want to go down. They were wreaking havoc on the cornfield. I caught them on the flat on top. Set yourself some cable restraints for them.

Another vote for snares even if you gained access to the creek. No need for hip boots when they are high and dry.

First beaver I ever caught was in a foothold. Saw a trail coming off the river into an oak flat where they were doing some cutting, smeared some beaver lure on a tree and next morning had a beaver. Just to explain this was when I just started trapping and didn’t know any better methods. Eric
