Another 3 legged beaver off this tract caught in a coil spring at a dam break. Pretty sure this is a female but I'll verify in the morning.

Here's a view of some of the damage to the road and timber

K, if the hunters we're using the traps like you found and they weren't fastened good those beavers could've worn them for a while before losing a leg.

Good job on the catches!

I do, but when it gets warm they are turtle magnets.

Amen! Ain't nothing like having a dozen conibears out and having 8 to 10 turtles to pull out of them the next morning!

Beavers tend to get extremely spooky during hot weather also so steel on drowners has another advantage there.

Here ya go Perch, new site and I put in a couple of 330's and one Bridger #5 on a drowning rod. Missed on the drowner unless a gator stole it. Trap was at bottom of the rod.

This big female came off a castor mound with 2 different lures. A turtle or something chewed her up pretty good.
