Norman89 2016/2017 season

I would like to build some heavy duty ones. I have been thinking of horse panel 2x4 colony traps like the one Clint locklear built. Just a giant colony trap just for swift water rivers. Probably only have one or two spots to put it each year for a few months at a time. Its big, bulky, heavy, but as Clint said in his video it may have a place when no other way to set is possible

If they don't have it they will order it for you. Mclendons has always taken care of me with whatever I need at a very reasonable price love that place!

i don't think we have one of those around here. Maybe north 40

Plus they ship it to your door. I don't like the 1x2 because the little critters get out and beaver and otter seem to break the wire alot easyer then 1x1 mesh. It cost more because it weighs more.

Yeah the price is 147.00 plus 90 plus to ship 20.00 to 30 more on that site.

its 187.00 shipped

I'm,not allowed to target otter (wife's rule  )

What? 

[Norman89]

Its her "spirit animal"  shaking my head.....I have one spot that would be a slam dunk too.....

[Humptulips]

What are you going to do when you catch an otter in a beaver set?

[Norman89]

Have it mounted and put on the mantel!

[Humptulips]

If you trap a few years you might have to get a bigger mantle.

[Norman89]

Im ok with that! Would love a to have a full mount of a family of otters. Would probably cost a fortune though haha

I bought the 36" but they have 48" for 10$ more

i would love to find some 1x1 14ga in 48"

Del's feed and farm have it in stock. Closest to you would probably be Othello or Ephrata. Last roll I bought was $189.00 plus tax.

I used to buy at dells but the three near me were bought out last year by tractor supply and they don't carry squat for fencing

I seen a you tube video of a colony trap in fast moving water. The doors were made of lexan. If I remember right he caught a beaver and otter in the trap. I have lot of 3/8" x 2' x 4'  and was thinking of drilling hole or cutting slots in them. To try and keep the door down. I could spring load them or use weights to hold door down. There is just some good otter creeks that run very fast.

Ya I saw that one too with his little rubber bass lure hanging in it haha it worked so it ain't a bad idea!

yeah thats right forgot about the lure. Lol There are lots of creeks that are over 15" deep and run fast. I can set a few just off the road and no one will see them. I am on it and will try and make one in the next 2 weeks.
