Having a blast! Was really starting to wonder if the beavers were smarter then me! It helps I have two good buddies local to me that trap with me my partner caught his second beaver ever today waiting to hear what it weighs but it took its a brute here is a pic of his

What a great day god made today! Mile hike in to the lake in and out with 2 inches of ice not enough to walk on but to thick for the boat but the trap check was worth it! Had three beaver traps sprung and two were empty the third held this beast! 53lbs! I couldnt believe it just blew me away! Destroyed the trigger in my 12x12 trap but so worth it! Also picked up three more rats!
