Beaver trapping ride along?
« on: January 23, 2016, 11:31:03 AM »
I have property (Roy/Eatonville area) where I can already foresee a future need for beaver control.  Would like to do a ride along with an experienced beaver trapper.  I want to get an idea of what all is involved with equipment and trap sets.   Willing to help flesh and stretch some hides and if interested, we can talk access. 

I am NOT looking for a trapline, I am interested in the ability to control my own issue.

Best regards.

huntingfool7 came down today and we checked 3 beaver traps I have on a small creek. The first trap had a 20 pounder, the second trap had a 50 pounder and the last had a 35 pounder. We had great weather and he saw a variety of places to set beaver traps. The last trap we checked was for bobcats and it had a possum in it. I enjoyed visiting and sharing the excitement of the sport

Right on. Wish I could do something like that. I've got beaver traps set but I'm setting blind. Well with the help of youtube.
It's not the size of the trophy that make's it a trophy.

Thank you!  Great morning out on the line, met another great sportsman from H-W and learned some really good stuff.  I think I have a plan and some traps in my future!

That's great!  :tup: Being able to learn in person, as opposed to reading or watching videos, really helps! Always nice to have a mentor
