This year's drawing for beaver and otter trapping on Ohio owned and Ohio managed land is 10/13/2019
http://wildlife.ohiodnr.gov/stay-in...n-state-owned-or-managed-properties-2018With beaver prices in the toilet, except for the castor, there probably is not much competition in the drawing.
I trapped out of a van, with a buddy, whose was drawn, around 16 years ago. The property was almost entirely locked in by private property. It took us almost a week to figure how to hike into it and better than 2 hours to get to where he was allowed to trap. Somebody, without permission had already set several of the ponds. We ended up staying at and trapping a campground on a large private lake, that we were tipped off had a beaver problem. We hunted a fair amount too. I caught a whole lot of tiny coons, some opossums and skunks and my first and only beaver. It was fun, but not profitable.
