I can see that I have failed miserably at teaching you anything Wade!... Blame it on my job and lack of time off to trap.

Conibear traps are great beaver traps but they are a temporary solution to a permanent problem. Beavers get smart to conibear traps fast. Fast enough that you'll rarely catch the colony before they become educated.

Footholds set on drowners can catch the entire colony if done right.


Hey Hank, how would you handle a fishpond with a lot of bank crawl outs ? Have a 330 set in one that's well blended in grass but no takers yet. This slide was pretty well slicked up.



Footholds on drowners and snares. I preach the footholds a good bit but don't underestimate a good snare set. They are easy and one of my go to traps in the summer time.
