Walk back to set, pick up beaver.
I wish they were all this easy.

Phew! Based on the title of this thread, I wasn't quite sure what I was going to see. LOL
Congratulations. Almost too good to be true when things like this happen.
In the daytime no less....I rarely see them until dusk.
One of the lads shot two this week from his tree stand just down from the damn...buggers have really moved into the area in the past two years.
I like that set...works well.
Well done.
How does one find out if we have a trapper in our area? The beavers could use some thinning out on our lake.
What kind of gloves are you using? i need a pair of good, durable waterproof ones. Thanks.
I wish they where all that easy too Jim
Most crown land has a trapper on it hard to say about private property. You can contact the local office and they may assist you in contacting the trapper in your area if you are having a problem.Quote:

Eat em?
Gotcha one better... was setting up on a nuisance beaver call, went to a curve in the creek, set the last trap I planned on. Backed up a bit, and set another in a good slide. While setting that one, nailed a beaver in the trap I had just set. Finished up with the set I was making, went to take that one out of the trap, leaning my .22 mag on a small tree beside me. Had to stop what I was doing to shoot one that came around the curve in the creek. That Wilson Green Lure was drawing them in for sure! Ended up taking 11 beaver on that contract, but was sure nice to get two on the set up.Quote:

I was debating on just shooting him on private land and using the pelt and trying my hand at eating her (sounds better than him). My understanding is I would need a trapper licence. Correct?
