Title: Re: First Beaver
Post by: gramps on December 08, 2010, 09:45:12 AM: Cylvertip....skinned and drying now...no holes or scars that I could see...pelt looked great, but I am a novice.

Machias....I used one of Bernie's swim thru' traps which goes under water. will try to add a picture.

There is at least one more, but the water is crystal clear and they must see the trap. Have got sticks stuck in the mud to try to keep them from going around..but no luck yet.

Post by: rasbo on December 08, 2010, 09:58:34 AM: hey gramps,if ya can get that trap about 2inches under the water with a dive stick on each end,they wont go over it either...The water is clear here also dont seem to bother them much,Just getting them to dive in the trap.I also put lure on a stick center of trap just out of the water,not sure I need to but seems to make them come...
