New beaver cages we are buildling

<< < (2/2)

Hannibal:
I built them to sell on "Maintainable Contracts" for Government job, but have had many inquires into building "custom traps"....and  do so upon request with a deposit....

 I also have the patented trigger system available ......It can be adapted to any cage configuration and fire up to 5 doors
 

Machias:
How much does that bad boy weigh? Been having good luck with these, regular cage traps:

Hannibal:
The cage in the video is 76 pounds, before powder coating.....  :)
  It was Over built to prevent thief and Vandalism, because it will sit in the same location year after year, all year long. It will also be monitored using a camera with wireless access......
  

 Machias?   How many have you captured using conventional cage traps?
How are you/ and what are you using for bait/lure?
Any damage or escapes?  And what "class" does the "Average" beaver fall under? (kit, Juvenile, sub adult or adult)
 I am guessing that the one pictured is a "sub adult" (2 year old)?

I have never had consistent luck with "Conventional" cages......And had a door torn off a 1081 havafart.... (good otter trap)

Machias:
The one in the photo is a 39 pound adult.  Probably caught 30 the past three years using apples.  Biggest one I have caught is a 46 pounder in a conventional cage trap.  Most during the summer and early fall.  I have to pre-bait with apples, but once they taste them, they really like them.  No damage to the traps yet.
