great job guys, some hard work carrying them beaver out of the thickets..i trapped a place 2 years ago, i swear i walked a 1/4 mile back to the truck,, doing a relay with 6 beavers, never been so tired in my life. now i drive up alot closer to all my sets.

fur taker..
up on the fish hook river, i saw the biggest otter in my life,, looked like a medium sized dog...went on a summer vacation up there in park rapids. back in the late 80's...nice area and awesome fishing....

have a great season.

J-

youre crazy haha! 330s scare me.

NMtrapper, Im not sure of the exact weight but furtaker got a 30.5 lb otter if I am not mistaken.

Ron, its just a lot of work at some huts. I usualy try to be the guy setting up all the traps. Stay dry that way!

Doublesettrigger, Those are better later season coon. Biggest went right around 48" on an 8" board, but never weighed it. Likely a 30+ lb coon. We weighed a few of the early coon this year and they were in the mid 20's.

JTrapper, there are select ares where you can trap like this in MN. It definatly does not work everywhere. And waders are ever evolving. Find a lot of waders that dont work, and a few that work good enough. Any of the newer ones with the armorflex or like material will hold up, but all the boot footed waders weak points are the boots.

Medic, Im sure the pink traps will stay around. Might have to take some friends out that have little girls and let the pink sets be their traps. Im back at work now, have to catch up around here before I will get many beaver sets out.

Marbleyes can you please post a pic of your skinning machine, I need some help in making one , tired of pulling by hand . You two are really taking those beaver.

I want pink traps!!

Pink 330's might just help prevent trap theft. I know I wouldn't steal one!

lol...

Great pics guys

Pink 330's is the new "blue buckets" and will forever be a Trapperman hall of fame.

Nice catch marbleyes,love to see another big time beaver trapper on here not many guys like to put up with the work of beaver trapping but it sure is fun!

I'm not much of a beaver trapper, and I like the idea of the pink traps for visuals, but I wonder if you took it one step further. I wonder if the 330's were painted off to bright yellow, and the trigger was baited, if the yellow color would be more of an attractant to the beaver, making the 330 look like a pile of chewed sticks. Just as the pink is a visual for you, the yellow might work better as a visual for the beaver. I realize you are setting in runs, but the color change may work for a feeding station set. Maybe someone who knows better could add to this
