Swamp,are you using all 750s on those trays? If using other traps what are you running for pan tension?

Currently have 750s, Bridger 5s (see pic above), and NoBs Beaver Extremes....all in trays. Also have 3 or 4 of those same traps on the Black Widow stands I have. I have some CDRs too, but they are not currently in the water. Will be soon. I haven't measured pan tension, but I run em stiff....probably 5 to 6 lbs. I miss small beaver but usually snare or 330 those nearby anyway. Or I have to return and trap there again...uughh! All my beaver'in is nuisance control.

Yeah that tail is a long one. Interesting the solutions we come up with for beaver trapping issues. I probably would never go to the trouble as a #’s type fur trapper but certainly see the value of those trays in the ADC realm. Thanks for sharing!

Very good share. Especially the adaption of the guy's DVD you mentioned and coming up with the trays. Very good idea. It is awesome that you gave credit to the guy. As soon as I saw the tray I thought to myself, hey, sort of cool take off. Thanks

Where can these trays be purchased? They are easy to build yourself.

That’s the first tray that I built Patrick. It’s been through the wringer lol. It’s accounted for a bunch of troublemakers lol. I like your narrow design and slots to snug the trap.

Just remembered to take a pic a few min ago. I like the legs as I can take my foot and push them down in mud and they don't try to float back to surface b4 traps are placed. Don't have to carry extra stakes. Once down...I stand on the tray edges to seat them good in the muck. Mine are built with 3.5" sides so the beaver has to step down onto trap after he climbs onto tray. I've trapped coyotes, fox, and bcats for so long and it's ingrained in my small brain for the quarry to step down onto the trap. The tray pictured has been repaired after 5 or 6 years of beaver battering.
