Looking back beaver in coon set with fish bait - 10/24/21 01:34 PM
I'm sitting around thinking and back when I was just learning probably my 2nd or third year trapping I made a set on a river for coon but the next morning I had a beaver toe nail in that Duke 1.5. I didn't know what it was at that time having never been close to a beaver before. I'm glad all I got was its toe nail otherwise my trap would have been gone. I only had maybe 2doz traps back then. I was in my early 20s working construction with young family.
I'm guessing the disturbed dirt was enough fro the beaver to check out. I had never heard of caster back then.
Seems like a lot of animals are attracted to fresh dirt not just predators.
Odd how your mind wonders on a rainy day when you can't do much outside.
