But don’t tie off to a tree that a beaver would chew

But the beaver, or another, could chew it off before being caught. Or another comes along after and drags it all away.

I'm thinking a bear took your beaver, trap and all.

I always used wire,,,,you guys are too special….
The wire is wrapped around the traps when not set, to make them easier to transport….

That's what I do with cable and a quick snap.

Rather steamed about it. Weird thing is I have several others set up in the area and those are all untouched, except for the one with a beaver in it that was touched by a beaver, obviously.

I talk to the local cops pretty regularly so I'll mention it to them but I don't think there's any chance I'll get it back. Definitely was a human that took it though cause I staked the chain ring using a wooden pole and you'd have to lift it about 2 feet straight up to get it off without moving the pole, which is exactly what happened. Nothing else in the area was disturbed either, including my stabilizers and guiding sticks.

Same here...only with cable.
