Another beaver today in my bobcat cage trap made by ouchfoss.  My horse panel swim through traps are 4 foot long and the only ideal spot I can find for them are den entrances.  Of course now that I have the traps I cant find any live dens.  Just a bit of castor made this guy mad enough to get caught.

That's cool your catching them in live traps. Are they beating it up at all? I have yet to ever catch one in a live set.

My larger 46lb beaver did his best to tear at the cage but the damage was minimal.  The really tall bobcat traps work super well for this because they can swim/wade in and not feel claustrophobic in my opinion.  I think if they were drowning there would be a lot more struggle and potential damage. I can try to get pics when I pull this location friday.

3 more beavers in my traps! All caught in my 1'x1'x4' horse panel traps.  Some have 2"x4" mesh, some have 4"x4" mesh. Both hold beavers just fine.  Simple conibear trigger. Works underwater and on land.
