Ah.  I was thinking (hoping?) this one might be Nutria.
  Look pointier-snouted than Beaver.



I have heard they are in Scatter Creek now, but haven't seen any sign of them yet...

Cool photos.  Trapping intrigues me, and has since I was a little kid reading adventure stories.  Doubt I would be much good at it myself, but I do very much enjoy the vicarious enjoyment from your photos!  Thanks!

Nope, Mountain Beaver.  Nutria are a darker grey and quite a bit bigger - up to around 30lbs. They have a nose similar to a beaver. Long round tail - like the big over grown rat it is. They will be in or near the water.

They are in Scatter Creek. We caught them all the way from McIntosh to the Race Track - Up until the trapping laws changed in 2000. Johnson Creek, Salmon Creek, Skook, Deschutes, Silver Creek too. The population is probably pretty thin this year due to the cold winter last year. Since they originate from South America, they can't tolerate extended cold periods very well, really reduces the numbers. That's why they aren't on the East side for eather Oregon or WA, they can only tolerate the generally milder winters on the "wet side."  Otter and big bore mink will do a number on them too.  We sure kept the coyotes well fed during the winter on them  - I think one winter between dad and I we caught over 100 in the areas mentioned - They weren't worth squat unfortunately.  That was somewhere between 91' and 94' I believe

May that for which I prepare never come to pass.

Awesome pics. I'll definately be looking you guys up at the Rondezvous in august.  Still kind of prospecting with my traps to try and get some areas figured out.

I like all the water animals! Never would have thought of mink or otter in a box trap.
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.
