All I do is find where the beaver are coming out of the water, make yourself a castor mound, about the size of a cereal bowl, and use a castor lure. I like pauls Backbreaker. NOW heres where I do a little different then most, Or maybe not. Get yourself some Fresh bait, something nearby peel the bark off so the green and white is showing and place that on your mound or in front and to the sides. This is your Visual attractant in case the wind is not in the beavers favor at the time, but he will spot that fresh bait. Place your 330 right in front of that mound, within a foot or more, and stake and tie your trap off. Make sure you have both sides of the slide or whereever you make this set block the sides, so he doesn't go around. I'll bet you get one first night of doing this as long as it's open water!!!

Eric, Put up a Tree stand and Wait till Dusk, Pull Both Triggers on your 12ga double... the 18 pellets of Double-0 should do the trick!!! OH, did you want to Save the Hide? LOL!!! I'd do the fake chanel thing myself, but I'd use a 660, mud mound and a coupld fresh white peel-sticks is all you'd need. Make sure to Cable off that 660, they ain't cheap you know. And one more thing, don't use that Thumb too much! lol! thought you were suntanning in Mexico?

Thanks for the tips Scott. I'll send you the hide and you can do the sewing on it! lol I'm probably gona get me a couple of them 660's before next year, but I won't be using them in spots like this. I do have a few wide channels they would fit in nicely though. And it's hard to get a suntan down here in Burritoville while working nights!
