2 more beavs at the tall dam. But no brood female. One at dam break...1 at fake castor mound that was scent free, until day b4 yesterday when I milked some juice from one of the locals onto it. Both in footholds held by BW stands...and went down rebar rods. Also had a water weasel in a 330.

Lots of good information on this post. Thanks for sharing. Were I am in Eastern Montana on the Tongue river the beaver all bank den and the river bottom is a rock gravel combination that you cant drive anything into. Most of my trapping is with 330's but when I do run footholds I use Montana #5's with ten feet of chain and weights attached next to the trap. No way to get a drowning rod in the river bottom and I am not dealing with sand bags and such. Pretty neat seeing how different folks are successful in different parts of the county with different conditions. I do have a few back eddies that I am going to make some of those trays for. That is a new one on me and I really like it!
I can't believe that cop put me in the back seat when I clearly called shotgun.

New job start today. HOA storm water retention pond. Should be easy and quick. Submerged 330s at four crossovers. If I could shoot the .22 to dispatch here those fence crawl-unders would be deadly. Put my signs up for any stupid/nosey adults and any kids. No sign of any human activity back here...or I wouldn’t have taken the job. Pond dam looks mowed but it isn't maintained at all.

Like the sign, one of the better ones I have seen for Damage control. Has a warning but does not entice people to go looking for anything and nothing about trapping to get the Anti's upset. Did you have them made? Yes..had them made. Only have 5. Don't use them in many places, but they are handy when needed. I intentionally left off the words "beaver" and "traps."

Probably his foothold stands/beds. Hey Swampy, take a pic of the next gator you get in a 330. Might be a while as I've only BG'd a couple gators in over 40 years.
