Nestled up on a island. Caught 15 today in 25 sets. Alot of them were small. Got another 50 sets in today. Weather was tough snowed all day. I'll add pictures as I can on this thread. Service is terrible

Good catch %. Kudos.

I look forward to your pics.

Hope your knives are sharp with that many traps out for beaver you will be busy,lol.

^^^X2 on that...especially if he keeps up that catch %.

Beaver are lousy out here. Probably set 10 lodges today within a 1.5
mile radius.

Lot of islands and sloughs winding all through out.

Got much competition?

1 guy. I found 4 of his sets when I was scouting last week. About 5 miles up the river though.

Currently watching my hip boots drip dry over the tent stove. Went a little to deep and filled them up today.

Chest boots for me brother. Allows me the freedom to work in waist deep water...a real game changer imho.

Sounds like you're going to give the rest of us a run for it in the beaver contest. Good for you!

camp pics look awesome!

I tore a big hole in mine their shot...... I'll have to get by with what I have. As far as the beaver contest goes anything can happen. I'm only trapping hard this week and maybe 1 or 2 more weeks between now and March.

Our beaver camp is coming up in a few weeks. Can’t wait. Pictures are getting me excited. How and where do you guys skin being your staying in canvas tent? We also stay in mine. Just curious, I set up the enclosed trailer as a skinning shed with light as skinning goes into the night lol.

sounds like a great time, what river are you on,

Has to be the Mississippi.
No other river in Missouri has that many islands.

You guys need a healthy alligator crop. Havent seen a beaver or nutria around my place in five years

I have some waterfowl impoundments and used to fight the beavers at the control structures. Lots of times I wished they were gone. Now, I wish the beavers were back and the alligators gone.

Sweet looking camp, sure sounds like fun.

Can't post pictures. Weather is garbage wind has been silting in alot of sets. I got bamboozld by muskrats at on big lodge yesterday. Tripped All the 330s caught 2 of them. 3 otter and half a dozen rats.40 beaver in 3 checks. Pulled alot if the line to move around a little bit.

I'd say that is a very nice haul!!
