Nice going Swamp! I just wrapped up a job by the house. 22 beaver, 2 otters, and a nutria later I finally pulled everything

Nice pics SW .That little boat is the ticket.

One of the advantages of that color of beard is that those reddish colored beaver bugs show up real good when you need to get one out of there.

Just remembered to take a pic a few min ago. I like the legs as I can take my foot and push them down in mud and they don't try to float back to surface b4 traps are placed. Don't have to carry extra stakes. Once down...I stand on the tray edges to seat them good in the muck.

Mine are built with 3.5" sides so the beaver has to step down onto trap after he climbs onto tray. I've trapped coyotes, fox, and bcats for so long and it's ingrained in my small brain for the quarry to step down onto the trap.

The tray pictured has been repaired after 5 or 6 years of beaver battering.

Beavs down here don't harbor such parasites.

Wolfdog,
Yes! A lightweight metal frame would work well.

Ok another question, how well do you think this would work with two smaller traps around the Bridger 3 /duke 4 size ?

Do you run into venomous snake's or Gators down there? Seems like working the creek banks in snake country might get very interesting.
