Thank you Bruce! I looked for channels above but there’s a big deep body of water above it and then it branches off to multiple run offs and didn’t see any that looked like a heavily used traveled path. The channels that I did see were very deep and wider than the trap? I tried setting one in a channel about 20-25 yards above it earlier this week but to no avail. T I did not see a crossover in the middle of the dam. All I could see is he was coming up on that corner,so that’s where I set my trap. Bruce do you think I should pull the trap and let him build the dam back again and then try that one way set like you talked about? Also should I be using castor or an attractant? Thank you so much Bruce.
Cody, Put the trap parallel with the dan and break the day to let water run under the trap. Stick a couple of sticks (1" or larger) on the water side. The beaver can't get to the broken dam, so he has to walk the dam to see how to fix it. At this point he would have to walk into your trap. Let hope he doesn't bring in any repair material with him.Good Luck, I have caught them this way.If this doesn't work, I would wait, find where it is crossing over and set the trap on the downstream side. You should catch him here.JC
