anyone interested in trapping in Mason County?
« on: January 27, 2016, 02:00:26 PM »
so I posted last week about offering up the ability to trap on land never open for trapping. I got lambasted. so Ill throw this out again after reading some of the replies and not knowing anything about the trapping world. suggestions are always welcomed. Malaney Creek Farm is 114 acre conservation farm in Mason County. we are trying to revitalize the riparian areas and wetland but are indeed having some overpopulated critter issues. first and foremost our beaver population is crazy. they have a full scale logging operation going on and we cant fence out or plant trees fast enough to overcome the problem. we also have an abundance of raccoon..these guys are BIG and are not scared of people. i have tried trapping myself but the traps i have used are far too small.
anyway if your looking for a place to trap some beave's shoot me an email lets talk.

I would love to go help but its at least a two hour drive for me one way. Should be lots of eager trappers around that area.

I'm just down the road and would love to help you out. My problem is that I only have a few traps right now and they are all currently set. 2 targeting bobcats and 3 targeting beaver for another person who is also having beaver problems. I also don't have a lot of time to have traps spread all over that I have to check every day. When I do pull my beaver traps I will see about helping you out. Just not sure when that will be.
It's not the size of the trophy that make's it a trophy.

You may just be one person in this world. But you may be the world to just one person.

Doesn't make a lot of sense?  If you are trying to revitalize the riparian zone let the beavers do their thing!   Don't know who is advising you.  I will say again in another way:  Beavers build riparian zones! 
Go ahead and trap a few.  Don't say you are helping the riparian zone.  Strive to keep the harvest compensatory.  In other words given good habitat conditions your harvest will not stop the populations ability to grow.  My assumption based on the area you live in there is not a full component of predators.  Trapping can fill this niche :tup:
