If you are doing this by yourself get one of those J Hook Trap Setters and hang it through the D ring on the front of your waders. If you ever get caught in one you will thank me you can take enough pressure off to pull your arm out. Find the beaver run and put the trap in the run with a dive stick. Look for choke points where they can't easily go around. such as.... Appears to be a narrow ditch in that 3rd picture. That's Beaver stew right there. I would tell you to block the sides with some sticks like the top of a small bush stuck into the side of that ditch bank, 330 right in the middle of that little depression/ditch.... and put it right there on dry ground (but that would be technically illegal right?). You just need to disguise it a little bit so it doesn't look like a square I might stick a little piece of cane or grass on the jaw but don't over do it since there is no existing vegetation there. You will have a beaver laying there dead when you return. Just don't do that because I would never advise someone to break the law with a dry ground set OR to use a snare right there which work really good too. There are videos on Youtube that show how to snare a beaver on dry land also illegal in Alabama. Alabama. Where it is Illegal to use snares but not marry your sister.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

J-hook and Safety pin on the way. I've got one just like you suggest in that spot in he third picture, coming out of the creek. Sticks around the trap and dive stick on top. Set another one in the slide about 20 feet from where the water starts in the 2nd picture between some privet and a sycamore, it brushed in real good. We had that big flood up here ten days ago and that left tons of dead sticks in this area so it blends in real well. Got clearance from local warden on where I was setting the traps and he gave me the all clear. After the flood haven't seen them as regular on the cameras since then. They'll be back.

Make sure they are good and dead. Beavers can be dangerous,yea,no joke.
Seriously,there was a video on youtube where a beaver bit a buy and he bled out. Yes a beaver can slap tear you up quickly

Many on here talk bad about a 330 but with time on your side, meaning you aren't making money just trapping your own place, eventually you will kill every single beaver there. To me they are the most simple and effective thing you can use. With a little imagination on making the set even the smartest one will eventually get pinched. I've put dive sticks out ahead of time just to get one use to swimming under it.
