4 for 4 is awesome, Machias!

 :yeah:  that's a profitable ratio.  The one on the far left looks to be pretty good sized too.

Machias, do the beavers there get as big and heavy as the ones farther North?

They do!!!

Thanks guys!  Putting out some fox and bobcat sets this weekend!!  Can't wait.

Hope to see a beaver in a day or two. 


I need someone proficient in catching beaver in my neck of the woods.  I know of a spot that has tons of beaver sign and would love to trade my knowledge for a beaver pelt......  I really need to get my trappers education.
dude even a whiners fan can catch a beaver  :chuckle: :chuckle: seriously though if you can catch a mouse in your house you can catch a beaver, of course it was a little easier with connibers and leg holds but live traps catch them to, if you dont have any castor, then you can use some anise oil, once you catch one beaver you can use their castor to make your own sure fire lure....... nice catch machias, 4 for4 is awesome, hopefully your fox and cat sets pay off like that.... whats the weather like in your neck of the woods?

Jackmaster this morning was 6 degrees with a windchill of -17.  They actually closed all the schools here.  Dry pavement, no snow, it's just too cold.  Cracks me up!  But supposed to be almost 60 on Sunday!

Holy crap thats cold, corrects me here, but ain't it generally fairly mild back then? This is gotta be part of that cold snap thing comin from Canada or wherever right? Beavers are probably wondering what the hell is going on

Yes we normally have daytime highs in the upper 30s to lower 40s with the occasional 50.  Nighttime lows are usually aroun the lower 30s.  Don't get much snow at all.
