Frogging Beavers!

[GLenn]

Beaver for sure.
They travel back and forth over the dam. I always heard it called a “slide”. ID the slide and put the #330 at the bottom of the slide half submerged and you will own him in a night or two. Push a few sticks down through the springs to block the sides of the trap. Leave the trigger area open and he will go through the opening where the trigger awaits.
Refer to YouTube and many ways to set for beaver.

A stout rope. One end tied to a cement block or 2 the other tied to the hitch on truck/ ATV. Throw block above dam then pull it thrugh the dam

A man should be allowed all means to protect his property from Vermin,

Put a #330 in the spillway. Waiting to see. That thing was a buggabear to set and scary. When I bought these traps, the seller said, "Do it right and it works great! Do it wrong and it will break your arm!"

Amen, brother!

Maybe but some city's have even banned them where I used to live they banned wrist rockets

That's why i don't live in a State, City, County with Libtards running the Show. I know my Pa would roll over in his grave to know how this generation of American's have become. I am ashamed of serving in this Country's military for almost 10 years ! Just to allow these scum bags to dance around & protest

I'd like to, but I have never seen them. Seems they are nocturnal.

They will be out specially early mornings. You can set snares on the pathway out of water

Me too, disappointing really.
And I can’t have any fun with the topic without getting into hot water sucks too.
I’d have already used dynamite or 50lbs of tannerite & in dam them damn beavers & been done with it

 

[Marplot]

Got one of the bastards!

Got on Youtube about how to skin a beaver, and make leather out of the tail! Hope the wife is ok borrowing her filet knife!

Getting help to reset the Conibear trap. These traps are really good, but respect what they could do to yourself!

 

[GLenn]

Use a rope to reset.
Take about a 6’ piece of rope and put a loop in on end that you can get your foot into. Run the end of the rope up through the round end of the coil springs that enclose the jaws of the trap. Once it’s up through the two coils drop the rope down and come back up through both coils the second time. Then pull the rope and that will compress the spring with little effort on your part. Set the safety on that spring and then do the second spring.

Yes, rope or tongs and use the j (safety) hooks. Not real difficult or dangerous if you pay attention to what you’re doing.

I have some long time tongs made for the trap. But even so takes some serious effort. And my wife will not set the safeties!

My handyman is very helpful.

He wants the beaver and will skin it for me including the tail. He wants the meat. He said the meat is a "delicatessen."

I have it in a garbage can with ice.

Use the rope. Pull rope with one hand and set the safety with the other. Been there and done that many times.

So compound leverage with the rope! I LIKE!

Hmmm. I’m not sure about that. You’d have to be pretty hungry. Hard to get past the smell of the meat for me. Kinda like a porcupine.

Is it anything like Bald Eagle or Spotted owl? What about baby seal?
