1st Beav!!! And if anyone has any suggestions for the beaver that left his toe nail in trap, I’d be all ears. I think I had my trap too far back for a bridger size 3 and didn’t have deep enough water with the back foot catch I had. I was trying to be 8” back from poke stick for a front foot catch.

Great catch, will always remember your first flat tail, WTG!

Congratulations. Welcome to the addiction that is beaver trapping. To me they are the trophy of water trapping.

Way to go!!! Try a snare or blind set where they are leaving the water for the one that got away.

I got that toeless rascal. That Backbreaker has some draw!! He come to a different set for the same smell. The borrowed 5DLS worked perfect.

Great catch, odd but will all remember our first of anything.

Good job!

WTG

traps should be up against the breasting sticks

Nice job! Congratulations! You now have been infected with beaver trapping fever!

Awesome!!!

I like the 5 LS for beaver.
Dont use a snare for beaver if you are trapping for the fur.Unless you drown it in the snare there will be bad damage on the fur and it will be downgraded every time.
Snares are fine under ice or on a drowner setup.
Congrats on the beavers.

Way to go.

You are getting off to a great start and have caught a couple of big ones to begin with too. Congratulations on getting the toe nail clipped one so soon. Good job!
