I've gotta give them a positive plug. They are working very good to support trap in deep boot-sucking mud on high side of dams and mucky bottoms at castor mound sets. The long legs stabilize well in deep mud. Allows set to go in quick and stable. This morning's Black Widow bite victim with MB750 venom.. Thank God For Your Blessings! Never Half-Arse Anything!

Yes Trap will be turned wrong way unless able to push support into a side bank parallel to beaver's approach. Last edited by Swamp Wolf; 01/11/24 07:09 PM. Thank God For Your Blessings!

Other was at a dam crossover. Overlooked this crossover during initial setup. 750 there now. Thank God For Your Blessings! Never Half-Arse Anything! Resource Protection Service

Then attached a flat stake swivel on end of cable so one rebar stake holds the stand and the bank end of rebar drowning rod. I didn't want it to go down with the trap & beaver and get bent. Needs to stay put. Stop loss may not even be needed. I'm over a dozen beavers caught with the stands and not one has been pulled up....but it could happen and at $15/each...no chances.

I've put MB750s, Bridger 5s, CDRS, TS 85, NoBS Beaver, and Duke 5 longspring in the stand. The 750s and CDRs fit the best. The B5s fit a little loosely...but the ends can be bent down slightly to make it more snug. TS85 fits pretty good. DUKE 5 LS is decent fit. But, the NoBS Beaver has to be set in a little angled as part of the trap interferes with the support. I've caught beaver using the stands only with 750s ...so far. Thank God For Your Blessings!

Thank you for sharing. How long did you make the cable? Last edited by Seek; 01/15/24 03:38 PM.
