Might a similar strategy work for you? A submerged swim through could be used the same. It doesn't need be black water. If you can set in a little current it makes it hard to see into the water.
That brings up another problem, setting swim throughs in current and the current setting them off. You can help that situation by cutting a small limb like a whip and putting it through the cage so the trigger rests against it. That gives it some support against the current but a beaver will push through and spring it.

I agree about a well placed 330 (In the water of course) is hard to beat. ;)
Hard to transplant a beaver that had a run in with one, but they work in getting the problem solved.
Or a well placed cable snare. (When we could use them) :yike:

Any one can secure a nuisance permit you don't have to be a wco.You will need to have the property of have the land owner designate you as the trapper for the trapping.You may not sell the pelts taken tho.You can use the pelts for your own .
WDFW is trying to change this. I'm not sure at this time anybody can get one. I'm working on it and will let you know what happens.

Got a double tagged beaver. It's kinda exciting, like getting a banded bird.
The department of fish and wildlife. They have a relocation project to get beavers in the higher elevation, but some tend to swim back down. That's the second tagged one I've got, and I have been trying to avoid trapping Beavers.
When did they start this program and is it still going on? Who do you talk to to get this information?
A few years back I was asked if I would bring my nuisance beavers over to Eastern Washington but the Game Department would not allow me or anybody transport beavers over across the pass.

William mire is the biologist for the project here in kittitas county. They trap and get beavers from Nwcos. I think this will be there third year, but the get beavers from as far as the tri-cities area. I've got his number if you would like. They take every beaver they can. That beaver yesterday came from ellensburg and was released in the south cle elum area last year, then it made its way to the Thorp area.
Ya let me have his number :tup: send me a PM
I sold my business two years ago and the company that purchased it is still catching them along with a couple more companies I know and are killing every one of them and throwing them away. If we can relocate them over to the eastside I'll try and get them there.
