Huntersridge, what is the optimum depth that you want your 330 in your baited pole set? It appears your trap is set pretty far off the bottom, is it set just under the ice?
Thanks

Great post Huntersridge! one of the best I have seen on here. What do you use for bait? How often do you check the traps? The beaver here in my area love poplar and we have plenty of it.

It's illegal to trap at houses in some states.
Great post HR, thanks for the effort.

thinks for the info how would you go about this on a frozen creek
Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

Woofman - It's legal to trap beaver houses in Michigan. Sorry Kre. Thanks for the info. Wish I still lived in MI.

Always figure if you hung it susupended, when the beaver sets it off it would push it away from the beaver maybe I am wrong. Do you guys get good behind the head catches, just curious was thinking about trying it this year.

How deep is the water under the ice where you are trappin? And, do you you have any tips on trappin/snaren in a place where the ice isn't frozen enough to walk on?
