Does anyone have any pictures of building beaver floats that use footholds vs bodygrips?

Just picture it as a huge muskrat float, but takes a lot longer to set up and take down!!

That sounds like fun, but You would have to wire something heaver to the trap chain< and you would probably want a long one. I never done it, but I would weight it, makes sense.

The answer I was looking for was basically "its easy, it doesn't cost anything and even an idiot could do it."

I built some for a neighbor friend, and although he caught a handful of beaver with them, he said they are not worth the time and extra weight!!
