Where to trap beavers?
« on: December 10, 2014, 07:10:04 AM »
Does anybody know where in washington I can trap beavers. I am a trapper and really want to know where I can find the most beavers mainly on the eastern side of washington. I've really always wanted to have a nice beaver pelt. That would be great! :)

  In Snohomish county there's a small lake called Lake Cassidy. I live on that lake.  Down the road from my place theres the only stream that drains the lake, it's call Catherine Creek.  In the 1st mile of that stream there's around 40 beaver dams that are a constant PITA, causing water over the roadway and floods all the time
  I have no idea of the legality of trapping the furry *censored*s, but they are sure in residence, in good numbers.

High rize pickups are supposed to work and that nice looking chevelle should do the trick too.

The reason there are so many beavers there is that it is a park and natural area. Not legal to trap

I've got beavers on two properties.  You can have them - but you have to get down to SW WA and stay to monitor your traps daily.
