Trap Theft Prevention (Public Beaver) - 02/15/24 04:23 AM
What's your plan of action?
I have a beaver job coming up next week in a highly urban neighborhood. The location has a series of ponds that are surrounded by residences. Just the thought of my highly valuable Comstock live traps being carried off makes me cringe. Have any of you found any ways to secure your traps to reduce someone from walking off with your livelihood? Most situations I lean towards camouflage. Someone can't steal what they can't find. However if I need to setup a trail set for a crossover and it leaves me exposed... you get the conundrum. I know no matter what I do if someone wants to harm my gear there won't be anyway to stop them. Welcome any thoughts. Also I plan to greet any inquiries with education and a smile in attempt to reduce any ill will.
Cheers!
