Thanks for posting that warrior. I met Jeff at the FTA Nationals in Kansas a few years ago, watched his Demo and purchased but never read the book. I occasionally use the panels on my beaver line which is 100% nuisance and about 200% bodygrip educated. I use the Z Trap beaver cages and occasionally snares in the right spots, like this culvert yesterday...

Can't see the video but have read Jeff's book. You do not have to use the entire system in a lot of circumstances. Just using a panel to narrow down an area can pay dividends. This was a first night catch in a drainage ditch.

Cages also have a place on the line. This was set in a mostly dry culvert where beaver were coming from a creek into an impoundment planted in corn. Not enough water in the culvert to legally set a 330 but the cage worked like a charm.

I have also used panels to keep deer out of crossovers where the deer and beaver were going in and out of an impoundment. I have set panels up in a W shape in an 8' wide creek channel to funnel otter into 330s or 280s also.

It helps to have close vehicle access but carrying a few panels in and out is easier than carrying the beaver out. I rarely get the truck close but I can usually get close with the side by side.
