Both Mike Kelly and I have had multiple 500 beaver seasons, but right now I'll be happy if I hit 300.

Every year I caught 500 I caught them myself but did have help in the fur shed. Rules for this contest are just catching them by yourself.

End of the season today. Finished the season with 301 trapped beaver. Weather made things challenging as I couldn’t get out as much as I wanted. A total of 27 trap checks with an average take of 11. My best day was 20, second best day 19 and third best was 17.

This pic is for my fellow contestants, wishing you luck!

Lucky 77 now.

Open water trapping made an early appearance here. If anyone has any extra rain, send it our way as we’re going to need it to have enough water to set traps!!![Linked Image]

Same here. But I won’t come close to 300…lol

Ditches are flowing but still lots of ice on the ponds. Ditches will be dry by the time the ice is off

Set out one last time was hoping to catch 8-10 figured 4-5 but had my best day ever 19 to end up with 324.Have another zone I can trap but probably not much for numbers unless I travel and rack up expenses.Good luck guys and flood that market so I can take next year off lol.

March 15th standings:

No reports from Dstone, Swamp, H20, Mnjag, so they're out. I do have a report via PM from Northernbeaver so he's still good.

1. Beaverpeeler 301
2. Northernbeaver 155
3. CDNlongliner 143
4. Ack 77 (tie)
5. Mike Kelly 77 (tie)
6. Musty 70
7. Shakeyjake 23
8. Walleyed 9

Two more months to go so we'll see what the northern tier trappers can come up with on their spring hunts. Good luck!
