Newt's beaver snaring video has a great method for putting snares on drowners. Uses a sash weight to drown the beaver. Check it out.

Why would I want to carry all that exrea weight around with me. Seems kinda sence less to me when the setup I just showed you works slick as grease. why would a person put an additional 4-5 lbs of weight in his pocket and have something else to attach to your system. When I leave the truck I am carring my rod with the snare attached and my stake plus my bottle of lure and a hammer and my snare holder. I could carry 4-5 of these setups for a good distance. Maybe a whole city block. LOL I ain't gonna walk any further than that for any danged old beaver.
But each to his own.

WOW guys thanks a lot for all the info. I sure appreciate you guys sharing and explaining all this to me. ADC thanks for the drawings and PossumSkinner for the photos. This set up looks like it would be super fast and simple. Thanks again, Rob

Rob, Trapper Art in Cornell, WI sells drowning rods (very reasonable) if you wanted to make some and needed a pattern. In one of his videos he talks about snaring beaver and using drowning rods.

I sure agree with Don and anyone else who thinks rods are the way to trap beaver. Only difference I use CDRs with mine. The beaver I've snared I can count on both hands.


I'm rich enough to buy anything I want, I just have to be careful on what I want.

Wow! I've always wondered about snares on drowners. Now I know. I hate loosing 20.00+ beaver traps to theives. This is something that I will try in areas that are potentially high theft areas.

The "Paint Program" rendition of the drowning rod calls for rebar. I would think a smooth rod would be better. The other photos show smooth rod.

You'd think that, but the guys who use rebar don't seem to have any troubles, plus smooth rod costs way more unless you use that tiny 1/4" stuff possumskinner has pictured \:D but it requires a weight at the end so it doesn't get all bent up if I remember right.
