(catches the Adults first) it creates a swim through channel perfect for a snare on each end. How do you set the traps in this case? Can I see a photo?

Don't have any muskrat or mink here, but bigger gators do grab a beaver occasionally, especially younger beaver. Thank God For Your Blessings! Never Half-Arse Anything! Resource Protection Service

Gotta take next several days off from beaver'in.....got to do maintenance on SxS and pickup...oil changes and tire rotation. Got 1st round of physical therapy on my knees next week too. Plus supposed to rain for 2 days straight this coming weekend....so good time to re-group. Thank God For Your Blessings! Never Half-Arse Anything! Resource Protection Service

Tray is holding two 750s on drowning rods. Tray is 8" to 10" deep. Tea-stained swamp water makes them look shallower. Note: Harbor Freight clamp used to hold slide lock in place until I get thru staking amd placing trap in tray. Nothing more aggravating than chasing those square tubing locks up and down a drowning rods. PS..don't forget to remove the clamp b4 you walk away and drop it back into the pocket of your old turkey vest with your pliers, beaver lure, etc. Knees a little better this morning. Only about fell 10 times, instead of 20 + yesterday...lol Gotta love it! Looks like you've changed your design a little since you sent me the drawings years ago. It's a deadly setup for sure. It's all i use at dam breaks. This has also made me do more dam breaks without any lure, seems to catch all the beavers the same versus the dumb ones first type deal.

I'd paint it to match your common water color....not to hide from beavers but to hide from humans. I dip mine in one of the water bases trap dips. Have used Formula1 and Ambush dips.

Wasn't sure I had enough water to drown....it was enough with weight of 750. Also has one in a snare nearby and a 330 downstream of the main dam. Thank goodness for the Jet Sled beaver transporter!

The only thing I'd do different is add a piece of wood in there so the traps are sitting parallel with each other and the jaws are resting on the wood so that it doesn't put a lot of pressure on the screen at the bottom. I'm trying them without screen on the bottom now just to see how they will work.

The caught beavs are under water at end of drowning rod.....outta sight...outta mind. There is nothing above the water line in view of the next approaching beaver to alert it.
