I removed 6 beaver from this place in the summer of 2022.

The customer then had a company install a " Beaver Pipe for 2500.00

Plus a yearly inspection fee of 300.00

Well I got a phone call .to come remove these hooligans as

They have plugged up the beaver pipe !!!.

As I was making my first set....one of the Big ones...started

Slapping his tail...about 10 times. You can see one of my sets ..

Next to the log and see the water ripples of the tail slap..mid.. upper of pic.

Then after I put the stink stick behind the trap...

I stood back aways and watched the magic happen.

I watched that beaver ....line up that scent with his nose..

And made a bee line for it.

Nevah seen a beaver get caught before today !!

I've...left sets before and walking to the truck...heard them go off.

That's great Nessie. I'd love to see that. Had muskrat get caught in front of me. And one time a mink right when I turned my back.

I call those---my instant beaver. Quite exiting when you are a couple feet from that 330 and don't dare move till the trap snaps.had it happen a half dozen ---hope I can have it happen again.

I’ve had muskrats snap 110’s while I was still holding them trying to get them situated in a run, that’ll make you jump

It does get a bit exciting when you are straddling the den hole putting a trap in and they exit...lol
