Chasing beaver
« on: December 16, 2012, 08:34:01 AM »
Caught a 53# beaver on the Mighty Skookumchuck yesterday. The water level keeps going up and down, so I placed the trap on the high bank instead of the shelf near the water. The old castor cage set worked. Thanks Trapperguy22 for the tip on using the higher bank.

Cool.  All we caught were possums.  They don't skin up nice like your beaver.  Nice one!   :tup:

This was a Hav a Hart 1081  (reinforced w/ cage clips and hog rings).  15"x15"x36". I used a handful of mud and leaves in the back of the cage and a gob of castor on a stick.
