[Machias]

Sweet Hannibal, that's a mess of beav!!!

[Cylvertip]

Holy crap man .  I've done a couple of 6's and one eight count in a day from multiple places,  but I see at least 10 there and probably all from one site.

That's what I call wack'en em and stack'en um.  That'll pay some bills!

[LongTatLaw]

man...was that from using live traps or body catch traps?

[tmike]

That is sweet. What would it take to get you in Black Diamond. They are causing a lot of problems here.

[Hannibal]

"What would it take to get you in Black Diamond"

$$$$$$$$$  lol.....

[tmike]

That could be arranged   I sent you a PM

Latest Line from North Snohomish County.  Pretty sure that I had a trap taken with a critter in it last weekend.  Caught one in the next set up from that but forgot to get pics   He's now at the bait station ( see Trail Cam Forum)

Critters have been backing up the creek into the marsh area ( formerly worked/ farmed ground) and flooding it out.  Land owner finally got tired of pulling dams out, been doing it for years -  and asked me to see what I could do.  These are all conibear sets with 330 Magnums.  Three sets are right in the channel with the horizontal sticks over the top to cause the beaver to dive through them.  The last pics are of a den sight with killers at the two entrances.  You can see the fencing on the sides of the traps to force the animals through.

good god! i have not seen that many beavers since my bachelor party but most of them were hairless

[Cylvertip]

52lb'er VS 330 Magnum   Can you say "lights out".

[Hannibal]

Good job!..........

Nice size beaver.  Thanks for taking the time to take pictures of your sets.  It's worth a 1000 words for sure.

I was looking at the magnums last night,the 330s are good also for the bev? or do ya like the mags better

[Cylvertip]

330's are good , 180's and 220's will work.  I went with magnums on my last order because they are a little wider = a little easier to convince the furry critters that going through it is the easiest path - as far as they know .  Leaves a touch more room for the non targets to get through as well.  There are also a few manufactures out there making "double wide" cooni's  - 660's or other names.  Hannibal has some in some of his posts - they should work real good for trap shy beaver.  The springs on the magnums are way stout too.  Most of my 180's, 220's and some of my 330's I can compress the springs with my hands.  No way on the magnum.  I am not looking forward to getting my hand caught in one.  It hurts no matter which one it's in, but those will probably break your wrist.  Getting it back out aint going to be any fun....   Been caught three times should look into the safety device I guess
