Title: First catch with my new Comstock
Post by: fatslinger on July 03, 2012, 09:28:55 AM: Caught a beaver in a 'bottom edge' type set on the outside bend in a creek. I placed the Comstock trap in their underwater travel route, then placed branches at both ends to funnel him in. It looked bigger when it was underwater. The property owner was happy.

($252.00 including shipping) It's a swim through with power doors; probably as quick as Bruce's new invention and a little wider. It can also be set upside down or on it's side. I'd like to use it for bobcat next season as sort of a 'walk through' set on it's side. It is well balanced and easy to carry---when it's empty. Anyway, so far....so good.
