Swamp Wolf OP trapper S Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 12,697 South Ga - Almost Florida	Originally Posted by sportsman94 Nice going Swamp! I just wrapped up a job by the house. 22 beaver, 2 otters, and a nutria later I finally pulled everything I've never captured that many beaver from one area. 9 or 10 has been the most. Heard that another trapper caught 36 (in about 2 weeks) from a 1/3 mile long creek swamp that had about 5 dams. Swamp was about 200yds wide at its widest. Company hired me about year later and it took me 2 seperate week long stints to get about 10 more out of there. I'd like to get in a spot where I could get 20 to 30 out of a small area.

Put skint carcasses in...load in pickup..dump at my carcass dumpsite. No bloody mess in truck bed. Wash blood out next day at beaver job site.... ...then do it all over again...

Wolfdog91 trapper Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 12,049 Amite county Mississippi	Originally Posted by Swamp Wolf 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. Think it's would be of a benefit if you could weld one of your stand up full metal?

Also had to get a few Florida CITES otter tags beforehand...to be able to cross back over to Ga with their otter. Lady was super nice and cooperative at FWC office. Process was a little drawn out, but not too bad. Also had to order new trap tags as Florida requires name. Most of my Georgia tags have our trapper ID number only. Took about 3 weeks to get permit and CITES tags. License purchase was quick....online on FWC website....$29 for non-resident. Last edited by Swamp Wolf; 02/14/24 06:26 PM.

Seems like working the creek banks in snake country might get very interesting. Yes, on the cottonmouths. I don't like fumbling around when they get active...which is about to occur in a few weeks. Gators = I see them a lot but not much of a concern until one gets into a snare or a BG. Thank God For Your Blessings! Never Half-Arse Anything! Resource Protection Service
