Not sure what you mean. Are you talking beaver hides or carcasses for use as bait. I have a couple hides in the freezer but not dried and I hate to try to put them up this time of the year. Pretty much all beaver are cheap so I'm not sure how the price could go much lower and still be worth fooling with.yeah i just want carcasses for bait sorry for the confusion,
p.s -beaver from vegas will be just fine too by the way ;) lol lets keep this G rated

If you were on the west side I could probably point you at someone but not really familiar with all the NWCOs on the east side.

One thing, most NWCO use the banned traps on a special permit and as such CANNOT sell or trade or receive anything for pieces or parts of those trapped beaver. Just a thought.
Those of you that trap for sport or suplimental income, Do you think it's fair that the NWCO trappers can use the banned traps?

I do both. There might be a handful of guys who can trap and make any money in this state. With gas prices so high and fur prices so low and the fact that the cost of your traps is much higher then when you could use legholds and snares. I don't see how anyone makes ANY money at all. The dang trapping license still costs $36, same as when you could really trap, that didn't come down when we lost real trapping. At first I thought, if I become a NWCO I'll be just like some scab crossing a picket line. I'll be taking care of the very problems we warned the voters about. Then I realized I could do nothing to change peoples opinion about trapping by either leaving the state or just using my cage traps secretly and ignoring the rest of the wildlife problems brought on by this ban. What shocked me and hurt me the most was how many hunters in this state supported the ban or did nothing to help fight it. I worked a couple of sportsmen shows and the attitudes blew me away. Some dumb ass with his Ducks Unlimited hat on or a guy who enjoys quail or pheasant hunting not supporting trapping??? Hey DA what has one of the biggest impacts on waterfowl and upland birds numbers? It's been proven over and over, predator numbers are high and the hatch and nest are decimated. After the 70s boom on fur prices dropped through the floor the Missouri biologist were standing around scratching their heads on why suddenly the turkey hatches were plummeting. Heck all you had to do was drive down the road and see all the coons, skunks and possums hit on the road to know trappers were not out trapping and the poults were taking it on the chin. So I became a NWCO and I use every job to educate those folks with a nuisance animal problem, that they have this problem and they are paying for this problem in large part to voting for the ban. It's funny how many have a much different view when they realize they used to could solve their problem by inviting a trapper to catch the problem and now they have to pay for it.

Well said - education is the answer, but sadly not enough educators.
