Read the thread from Bean, read an article on 1-2-3 beaver snaring in Fur, Fish & Game....found some sign behind the house, grabbed some snares & three days later....the rest is beginners luck. This trapping stuff is addictive :p :p . Thanks for the motivation Bean!!

Good catch, congrats!!

looking good!

That's a sweet picture right there. Well done.

Not quite as big as yours Bean. 48 lbs....putting some steel in the ground tomorrow for yotes after I get back from deer hunting

NICE!

Congrats on a fatty!

First one ya gotta flesh and stretch it, tan it and hang it on the wall. And again I say have fun fleshing that joker!

What is sooo bad about fleshing one?? Never done it!

Just takes a lot of elbow grease per say. Lotta fat on them things, right around the bottom where their tail connects is just a pain to do.

Good thing is they have thick skin so it's harder to put a hole in em.

I see....no thanks!

Trappin and snarin aint hard its that first one thats the hardest. Nice catch. h.h.

Coyotes still kicking my rear end. I can consistently catch beavers and coons, but in 3 years I've snared 1 coyote.

NICE!!! I love it!!!

Hey Trad, you using any bait to try to snare them or just trails?

Setting up on trails off of gut piles or cleaned carcasses. My biggest issue is I live 2 hrs from where I hunt and trap. Most of the time they get to set out 1 evening then have to get pulled.

Take time skinning and fleshing is a lot easier

Well done! Congrats!

congrats
