Worked way too hard to get a few beaver sets in today, but I got them set nonetheless. Sorry about the snout in the picture, my puppy is almost 5 months old, so he thinks he's involved in everything. I wish I took more pictures, but I never remember to until it's too late, I will try to remember when I go check in a few days. I made 2 snare poles as pictured next to the lodge on either side. I made 3 "dam patrol" sets with 330's also. I might set the next couple ponds when I go check if I can find the motivation to make more holes in the ice.

How many river miles do you figure you cover in a season, if I may ask?


I don't think I've ever stopped to figure that out. But let's see....I think last season I caught 300 beaver from six counties. I was on five different rivers and three lakes. Maybe 140-200 water miles? Not all of that is good beaver habitat, some of it just traveling through.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Got a couple snares in to hopefully take care of this educated female. One blind set and one of these angled stick sets with some sac oil from the male I caught on the sticks above the snare.

Snares are on 6 foot long kill poles with horizontal cross piece welded entanglements
