Yes those are Hav-a -hart traps. Model 1081. 15X15X36ish. I got these at the Darigold farm store for about 90 bucks each. Personally, I've had good luck w/ them but I hear bad reports about them from almost everybody else. Hannibal is the pro-- I would ask his opinion.

Sure! The course title can be "Dumb Luck 101". Only got one more small one since then. We need another good, hard rain.
I'll tell Eric you volunteered. :hello: :tung:

Finally put out 2 traps on a property in Maytown and the next morning I had a small beaver. It builds confidence to catch one on the first night. Good thing it was a small one, too. I think I'm the slowest skinner/flesher in the world. I hope the picture comes through.....I've been tryin to figure this cellphone camera thing out all day.Dang I can't see the pic I to got a first for the season

Note to self: Don't pack beaver traps 1/2 mile through the brush and set up.
You know, those suckers don't have antlers. Big round ball of nothing to hold onto. Think I'll go move them closer to the road. :DOH:
Not to steal the thread but I carry a piece of rope, slip knot on each end. One on front leg one on back and sling beaver over my shoulder. If you're lucky and tough you can hook two beaver together and put over the shoulder. It's a load!

I'll make a couple of your sets at end of shift today. I think by using different location, and or different castor recipe these Houdinis are recatchable.
