I like summer but I despise beaver trapping in the summer.

Ticks, skeeters, deer flies, and the humidity. Then if you have a smart one or a shy one the job drags out. Have to catch them all. Sometimes get them all the first night and other times there is always one smarty. It's usually a female because they aren't as aggressive as the males.

Just finished my fourth job of the summer today. The lady asked what I would charge her to remove 2 beaver that had taken over her pond. I told her 2 million. She laughed!!!! Said she couldn't afford that much. I lowered the price and she asked when I could do the job. Should have been a 2 day job but ended up being four. Set one day and pull the next if the beaver cooperate. This job had a shy one. She probably saw her mate get whacked and holed up. She finally got caught in the same castor mound set as her mate. Used a submerged 660 with the trigger on the bottom. I really like that trap because it isn't as constricting. I believe the extra room helps some for shy or educated beaver. I'm sure the vintage Backbreaker helped a lot too.

I also dont much care for beaver trapping in the summer,but the money is good.I hate tossing big beaver with crappy summer pelts when I think how nice they would be come winter fur trapping.
Set up a job today down north.
Mosquitos and horse flys were wicked,blackflies died down a bit from a couple weeks ago.
I forgot my jacket so with just the t shirt I had to set fast.Made 3 deadly sets in record time,lol.
Only a pair of beaver there since it gets hit each year.
