Beaver job question - 01/27/17 08:13 PM
Hello all
I been doing ADC work for about 5 yrs now. I went and set a job up on about a 4-5 acre lake. When I arrived the landowner informed me that his neighbor had fixed the main levee and a peninsula where the beavers had huts. I thought that ain't good. Honestly this is my first job where I'm having to trap after something like this. I set 330's in the runs I could see on H stands. Most of them are filled in from the backhoe work. I also set some castor mound sets. Did catch one yesterday on castor set. This morning I had one swimming around when I got there out in the pond. It's just hard to predict what or how they act after this was my thinking. The landowner has done paid me and is very happy with the one I caught. I'm just not sure how many more I will get. Anyway thought I would pick you older and more experienced trappers brain for any tips or help thanks.
