You’re on the right track. If you just put them in the open, you will catch a buzzard.

The way to do this is brush it in so the carcass is not visible. Set the opening and approach trails. It’s best to stake or tie the carcass so it stays in place longer.

I don't know about all this foothold trap stuff. Life would be so much simpler if they would just bring back the sweet tasting antifreeze.

I just bought some conibear traps last year...I've caught 20 beavers so far and they haven't slowed down damming up the creek headed into my deer woods. These things never stop. Everything I've read said that there are usually on 10-14 beavers per family. I've far surpassed that number and they are still going. The trapping has gotten slow....not sure if they are getting wise to them or what, but there are tracks all in the mud and looks to multiple beavers left. If any of you want to practice your trapping skills, hit me up and help me out!!! lol

If they are avoiding your conibears, switch to snares or footholds. Footholds need to be 7” minimum jawspread. MB750, Bridget #5,Duke 850 Pro and TS85 are all good choices. One of those bedded where they leave the water is money. I prefer to use a drowning setup.

If you stick with 330’s, put them in runs under a dive stick

Hi guys I just started researching and attempting to trap beavers and just caught my first one a few weeks ago and I am hooked. Any advice on being consistent. I am setting on slides on the edge of a creek that fluctuates pretty significantly with rain. I bought a Bridger 5 and am using a drowning wire set I made. First catch was a front foot and I was going for a back foot, got lucky. Haven’t caught anything since but the creek has been flooding on and off and I keep having to reset. I bought a coniber 330 but took it back. Couldn’t get it set. Any ideas or advice. The property is mine and Beavers seem to be a problem for me and my neighbors.

Active crawl outs, cross overs and runs. 330 under a dive stick in the runs. Placement at crawlouts is critical and make sure the jaws are parallel to travel. You want him stepping between the jaws not over them, as their back foot is really large.

You need a set of trap setters for those 330’s
Sho does make it alot easier
Good luck

I’ll look into those setters
Would I use a coniber anywhere other than a dam??

Just put the trap where they leave the water... The trails here coming off the river look like deer trails the banks cut up so much
