Would a MB 550 offset be big enough to use in a drowning/castor mound set for beaver or do you need a 750?
I’ve got three 750s on the way. Should be here tomorrow or Thursday. Hopefully I will get them set before the weekend and see how it goes. Thanks again fellas for the input. This is my first time trying to catch these critters and I’m looking forward to the challenge. I’ll keep everybody posted.
I caught my first one in a snare this morning!Never snared so I might look into that as well. Got the 750s in today. Gonna get them ready to go and get them set tomorrow. Also have to 330 conibears ready to go. If I don’t catch them it won’t be for lack of trying. The 750 look like I can set them by stepping on the leavers like I do with my 550.
I have set a snare only two or three times with no luck. This week I found a crossover with a bar wire fence on each side. So I put a snare on one side and this morning I had a beaver in it.Congrats Doug. Good job
Good luck! I'm anxious to see what you have in the morning. It's like any other animal, once you catch one the others come a little easier it seems. I can't wait to see pictures!!!Got two 330 conibears set and three MB 750s set. 3 of the 750s where well defined trails enter the pond and 1 on a castor mound set I made. The 2 conibears are on the other end of the trails coming out of the first pond and heading into the other. I’m pretty excited to see how things look in the morning. Having never water trapped is it like land sets and the longer they are in the better or is there a good chance of a catch the first night if I’ve done my part correctly? Either way I’ll update tomorrow. Thanks again for the advice and input fellas.
