jeremy T setters and beavers are alot lighter than conis and beavers so i recomend bringing in setter instead of traps

jonsnd 16 we set all huts pretty much the same and catch beaver otter and rats but we are yet to catch a mink with this type of setup

we usually expect beaver on the first check almost exclusively but some rats foul up sets and on the second check it seems more common to pick up the rats and otters

this is also a deadly technique on otters under ice, if you know they are in the pond set up any place they can get in and out of bankruns and huts. and within the first two check you should have the beavers knocked down and then sit on those sets for probably another couple 3 day checks and you should have at least one otter, it helps if you know their are fish or other minnows in the pond and if you are traping a larger (lake type) body of water apply the same set technique and wait them out once again you should pull out some otter. Creeks and fowages coming in and or out also increase your odds imensely.

great job

mike,,,if the competition sees those pink traps,,,youll be the laughing stock of the county. better yet, imagine the look on the wardens face when he finds one of those out in the field. good to see youre having some fun amid all the hard work. this weathers killing the coon catch.

so where s the beaver pics in the pink ones, my mom mscat will want to see those. might inspire her husband to do the same, LOL.

No pictures yet?????

Here you go guys! 2 beavers in them today, and we pulled and reset them, Will check again tomorow!



If you dont believe us we took a pictuyre as we walked up to the hut.

Hows those waders treating your partner? Bought the same pair last year and the boots and crotch are already leakin on mine.

Thats my partner in the pictures. They have held up pretty well so far. He got them this year anbd we have put them through a 2 week gaunlet and they still hold most of the water out with minimal patching.
Wader boots and crotches will always leak, Just a matter of how much!

Thats what I figured. Gonna have to get the shoe goop out one of these days. They dont leak bad just enough you've got a wet spot on your pants after a day of wearing them.

great job

well good sir you rose to the occasion. strong work. takes a man very secure in his masculinity to use pink traps. i will not ask you to put your money where your mouth is again. so, are you gonna keep using the pink traps?

Haha, this is so awesome.

those are some big coon.

Awesome job on the beavers guys.

Didn't care about the pink traps and beaver's but did think wow coon's big as beavers in the pictures, lol.

You would have fun in chest wader's finding bank den's here, banks covered in brush and briers, be alot of leak's in them here, lol.

Im goin to walmart tomorrow and buyin me a case of pink spray paint.

I love the idea! Checking I'm sure is easy. Great Job!!

You wouldnt catch beaver around here in pink 330's or any kind of 330's for that matter....I want to trap where you do...

What did the coons weigh? Dang, I wished that we had coons that big around here. I have been coon huntin and trappin for over 40 years and the biggest that I have ever caught weighed 20.007 lbs. It sounds like 20 pounders are boring and routine in your area. 20 pounders here are rare and considered extremely large.

Rickey

Marbleyes,

Great job on the beavers, You guys are one of kind, I would love to hang with you guys for a few days. I would like to see if i could extract some more tips from you guys. When you guys set up the lodge houses how do you go about removing the branches over the runs to set you traps in? Is it just hard work and you grab them and remove by hand or do you have some simpler tricks. That seams to be my trouble at some house there is alot and others it is just a few or none?
