pics?

snares are best so far. Had my #3 trap sprung twice. Conibears no action yet. Going to check tomorow. Set some coyote sets with Mr
Beaver as bait.

Cool. Snares are probably easier on a pond anyway. Can set several in less time. Conibear traps work best in smaller streams or defined runs. I bet you'll catch several more. Then go without catches for awhile until more move in.

have you ever eat beaver meat?if so how does it taste,i have never tried any but would like to,but before i go on a beaver trapping spree i would like to know the take on the taste.

 

[MagicMan72]

Ive always enjoyed the taste of beaver.

 

[BulletTJ]

Wait a minute. What kind of beaver are we talking about? Don't eat the beaver if it smells like fish. emoLaugh

I was inspired by your post, I have a couple beaver that are a real nuisance in my pond and spillway, I ordered some snares last week, set out 3 of them in their trails last night, checked this am, caught 2 beaver on my first set ever! Pretty cool!

 

[churly]

That's awesome!

 

[catjuggin]

Very good. You know Lewis and Clark's crew found beaver toungue to be a delicacy.

 

[catjuggin]
