Best traps, baits, and tricks to trap these pests. I have my own ideas but haven't trapped them In 20 years. Got a call so I thought it might be wise to get up to date and see if anything is new.

I don't know your laws of course. But my thoughts are to stay away from footholds for the time being. They can be somewhat tricky at times and you don't want to educate a Beaver on an ADC job.


Just because something is legal doesn't make it smart.

Nothing really new about beaver trapping i can think of .There's these kids running around with these goofy beaver floats really funny to see . Snares would be the way I went at them . ADC beaver = snares hung heavy

Right ideas wrong animal



Mountain beavers (Aplodontia rufa, Fig. 1) are considered by many taxonomists to be the world's most primitive living rodent species. They are not really beavers, but were so named because they gnaw bark and cut off limbs in a manner similar to true beavers.

Mountain beavers live in moist forests, on ferny slopes, and are occasionally found in damp ravines in urban areas. Their worldwide range is the coastal lowlands and coastal mountains of southern British Columbia (from the Fraser Valley to the Cascade mountains), western Washington, western Oregon, and south into California.

Most people don't know mountain beavers exist and some still continue to question that fact even after they've heard about the animals.

sing it to the tune of country roads, it's catchy, makes long rides less likely to induce insanity.

Thanks a lot fellas. Oh how I would loved to have all this information available and a large group of helpful people at my fingertips when I was going to high school and running my trapline in the late 1940's.

Extinct as in never existed. We got sand not volcanic debris in our soil like out North West.This is a surviving prehistoric species and few people work around them other then probably Vinke and those nearby in WA and OR .

No mountains here . Six years of images shared on WpN created a pretty large archive . We have a few mountain beaver pics

The photo came from right here someone who reads but doesn't post.
I used that photo for a What Is A Mountain Beaver Web page.

We are home of our new Swamp Beaver



Locally the Capybara, what I called our new Swamp beaver is our Mountain Beaver I guess.


The cabybara and the jaguarandi are both immigrants of South America and have been reported in Sante Fe, Ichnetucknee , and Suwannee River and have been observed by FWC, USDA WS, Fishermen, Hunters and trappers all along the wetlands near San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park, Ichnetucknee State park, Oleno State Park.

Meet Our Newest Swamp Kitty! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xai4jZb_p68

Florida is kind of like that for exotics I guess. Red wolf too.



This is what we have in our rural woods and waters.

Snakes, Gators, Crocodiles. Yep

and huge spiders.

But no Boomers or Mountain Beaver Dave Schmidt here in Florida.

So a lonely cat and a lonely otter cross paths in a Florida swamp, the rest is history.

Nevertheless, check starting at 5:20.

A poor reference, however- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguarundi

Can you provide a recent reference of an actual Jaguarundi being filmed, road killed, or caught in Florida?

Something is out there even up in North Florida.
Even the nuisance calls come in that way. Lot of mystery poultry losses not to raccoon or coyotes.

They are not panthers, bobcat. They are small swamp cats with real little weird shaped heads.

No Officially FWC says they do not exist.

Not like the excellent data we have on capybara. http://nas.er.usgs.gov/queries/collectioninfo.aspx?SpeciesID=2587

Nothing but poor pics and here say.They are the size of large slender house cats with funny heads. Maybe some crossbreed feral cat+ but I am not gonna rule it out.

Quote:
While Jaguarundis are not native to the south-eastern United States, it is believed that a feral population exists in Florida, established from an introduced population of escaped pets in the 1940’s. They were reported to be quite easy to “tame” by early Central American natives, and were used to control rodent populations around villages. Today, it is not recommended to keep these or any other wild animal, as pets. Jaguarundis are one of the only felines to not have contrasting colors on the backs of their ears.

Kind of reminds me of the mountain lions often reported ,never seen in IL, MI then one day one shows up dead in CT.

These guys are only reported near our wetlands. Our local wetlands and rivers are southern tributary waters from the GA Okeefenukie Swamp and The Suwannee River.

A Mountain lion have been seen in Roxbury NY. A lot of people have seen it. Local constable said shoot it and call him.he doesn't want it in his town. The one in Conn was genetically linked to one from the Dakotas
