Old beaver
definitely the oldest beaver and biggest tail of the season. he was 58 lbs
second pic is a 55lb and 30 lb
Question about trap location….
I’ve been having decent success trapping coyotes on my 100 acre property (pic 2 was yesterday along a trail thru the woods) but just started seeing a yote patrolling my main driveway at night.(pic 1 was a few hours ago)
Thoughts on trap placement? I was thinking dead center of driveway so that vehicles don’t set it off? The driveway is 1700 feet long and I don’t have to worry about my dogs or strays. (maybe a cat or two).
Beaver Castor lure
got next years beaver lure made.
I save the biggest beavers castor and oil sacks for one batch that I use in fall and winter.
and then I save the smallest beavers castor and oil sacks for the second batch that I use for spring time that I also add food type lure to also.
it's super simple, I just cut the oil sacks open and drain and add the castor and some glycerin and puree. if it's to thick I'll add more glycerin and if it comes out to runny I just add some saw dust or wheat bran to get it to the consistency I want
