Here's some beaver porn for ya BP. Hope this helps you with your fix. If we lived close I'd even let you skin them!
Picked up another 6 today to add to yesterday's

Dale you are slamming them! great job.

Looks like the wind was blowing pretty hard on those beaver. Good job!

Using castor sets?

BP, I had those beaver drying for an hour along side the barn and the wind was just a blowing lol

I had eight sets out out 6-330's and 2-vic dls.

Couple sets had castor

A few with just poplar sticks

And both dls connected with just Birch oil on a Q-tip. I put those two sets at spots I had previously set with educated square shy beaver. Those beaver had also already seen castor mounds and would have nothing to do with them. One was a very large male and the other a big pregnant female.

You're quite the sophisticated beaver man Dale! For years I've just made castor mound sets on top of fresh activity and 2-3 checks and move on. Never worried about any trap shy beaver as I caught enough no matter.

For you 750 guys




Six must be the number for the day.
Dale, if we keep going we’ll meet in the middle. lol
BP, hang in there you’ll make it. Maybe we should start a support group for off season beaver trappers. Hi my name is Beaverpeeler. Lol

NF, six it is. Boy that one looks like a tank. It's got quite the paddle on it. That 750 bracelet sure looks pretty on it.

We keep teasing BP he's liable to make the 2500 mile run and join us

Built a new drying rack for our castor.

BP, go help Mike Kelley then he can only count half. Lol

HA! Youse guys are killing me!

Dang nice looking beavers. Maybe you should get ahold of wy wolfer and get the big money for them. And I'll talk to Mike about that and see what he says. Last I heard he's hoping for dust bowl beavers to show up dispersed by the wind.

BP, you could come here and help, but this pace really is not your style, you’d get bored.

You guys are doing great! I have 5more days before getting back at it if we have any water left

Most of my trapping is in small cricks, ditches and ponds that have overflowed into grape vineyards, corn, beans or farm roads. They turn into a sprawling mess.
The farmers lands that I trap on want complete eradication if possible. Sometimes im in after their cousin or inlaw caught one or two and educated the rest. Some times their all shot up. Ive got three this year that had shot in them and one that had a piece of copper bullet in its crippled up shoulder.
You have to come up with some different set ups to catch some of these old beat up veterans of the the farm ditches.
I'd love to ride along on a line like yours but would have to speed up my put up or buy a couple of freezers. I'm slow and steady doing my finish work. I couldn't even fathom doing the numbers you do.
NF is right you'd be a little bored with our style. But a bet you would love it. Nothing better than being outdoors doing what we love.

Thanks for sharing those thoughts. I would love to try beaverin' in another state sometime.

End of year pics. The 3 coons are my son's.

Nice pics. Nice year. Curious about the leather out bobcats? Getting those tanned?

Great job Yukon. Beaver look great

Yes

Looks like a good season, nice job on the put up.

YJ, looks like you had a good year, spent some time with your son. Doesn’t get any better than that. Your beaver put up looks awesome.

Wyatt caught three, but two looked like this, dragged up out of water. Tie off wire was stretched off one trap. Any similar experiences.?
