Adam, it looks like you are pulling away from me on beaver. :bow: Not happy with the way my traps are doing on otter so I pulled most of them and am going to do a little modification.
Looks like my new cat traps are a failure too so back to the drawing board there also. :bdid:
Post by: trapperguy22 on February 17, 2012, 12:00:14 PM
ya i am doing good on beaver but i would like to have more otters, i need to do some work on different traps on the off season. the other thing is i might stop trapping beavers soon the last couple i caught were pretty bit up. see ya on the 17th of march!!!

what do you think is the issue with your swim throughs?
Post by: Humptulips on February 17, 2012, 07:15:15 PM
bruce,
what do you think is the issue with your swim throughs?
It has to do with the length between the doors. Most of my traps are 10 x 10 x 48. I put in 14" doors so they would have the proper slant. That means that when set it is only 20" between the doors which means 10" on each side of the trigger.
I think otter are either going fast enough when they spring the trap that they get their nose under the door in front of them and wedge out of the trap or the door behind them is falling on their shoulders allowing them to back out.
Also if the otter gets his nose a ways by the trigger before he springs it maybe he's only 5" away from wedging the door open.
I base this on the fact that all the otter I am catching are small otter. I think the longer the otter is the more likely they can jam the door like I described. I know something is in the trap because the trigger will be knocked completely down and no debris in the trap. Nearby fresh otter sign at times is the last clue.
I also think it would help to speed the trap doors up.
My solution, 10" doors and a stronger spring in the doors to increase the speed of the doors.
I built a couple of 12 x 12 x 48 and I think I'll junk them. The taller the trap the longer the door and less room in the trap. That just makes the problem worse.
I'm actually thinking when I make more I'll try 10 x 8 x 48 or 12 x 8 x 48
Anyway that's my theory.
Post by: trapperguy22 on February 18, 2012, 06:12:28 AM
I think i have had some of that same problem, what do you think about putting a rubber fish on the trigger or wired above the trigger to get them to slow down to get it off? haven't tried it yet but i might on monday.

Not yet. The refinery I work at had a fire and we've been working around the clock to get it back up. On 12 hr. days 7 days a week now. I was going to seek advice on here when and where I could still sell.
You need to get with it. The last receiving dates for the auctions are days away.
NAFA or FHA are where I would send it.
Any local buyers won't want to take them after the last receiving dates for the auctions.
FHA agent is closest to you. There last receiving date is probably the only one you can make anyway, 4/20/12. Go to www.furharvesters.com for agent contact information. It's at American Legend in Tukwilla. They may want it soomer then the posted last receiving date so you need to get on it.
