In the spring when they're thinking about the opposite sex, the best set for beaver is to make a mud pie up on the bank and apply some beaver castor scent to it. You can get this from any trapping lure supplier. Set your trap in the water deep enough that he'll plant his back foot in it when he's hauling out onto the bank to check out your lure. Stake your trap out in deep water so he drowns and there you go! This set can be modified to work with conibears too, if you have them.

another way is to look for their slides. That is whaere they go in and out of the water. Then just put a snare or conibear trap in the slide. The trick to that is to find the slides they are using the most and trap them.

Beavers will have lots of slides and runs coming from the water to the woods, set a 330 or a snare on the ones that are used the most. You dont have to do anything pretty. Alot of times I put some castor on the end of a stick and poke the other end in the ground and put a 330 a few feet in front of it, best if used in a small feeder stream or ditch. Make sure to block the side of your trap with stick or some type of natural debri.

Yes! they have extremely thin skin, if you dont have have much experience with skinning I would'nt attempt it. I take mine to a fur dealer that takes the animal whole and he skins it.

Lay the beaver on his back take a pruning knife [hook bill] and start under his chin and go all the way to his butt, don't cut into the body just the skin.take lobbing shears and cut off his feet and tail,take a sharp round pointed knife and start skinning hold up the skin and cut under it to you get all the way around if you are good [fast] you should be done in 20 minutes.

Rebel hunter get you a relaxing snare make about a 10 " loop, get you a stick and put it in the ground at a 45 degrees with a short piece of wire it to the stick and not the loop, let the loop touch the ground, take a hatchet and cut a small trench to lay the snare in cover the wire up pack it a little. have your snare standing up [loop] so when the beaver goes through it it will stand up until he gets one foot through the snare then it will tighten down on him . NOW don't tie the snare to a tree he will eat it off, take two rebar
stakes 24" long and cross stake X either way he pulls you got him
If you need any help I will send down Calkin. I taught him and he is good
he has a hard time telling a plott from a beaver [bad eyes].

Those small streams seem to be the easiest and if you can find their dam put a leg hold on top the dam where the water drains over the dam

Make sure you put your leg holds on drowners. You won't have much luck keeping Beavers in a dry leg hold. Get them on drowners and you'll keep em in the traps. A lot of states and provinces require leg holds for water trapping to be on drowner cables make sure you check your regs. Also some states don't allow trapping on their dams or lodges. A submerged snare, or submerged 330 on a slide is your best bet. Beavers aren't a hard critter to trap. Also in a small creek drive sticks into the river bed on an angle from bank to bank to guide the beaver. Put a 330 or a snare at both ends of your guide sticks and u got him. In a small creek where you can put guide sticks right across, this is very effective, cause in order for him to swim down the creek he HAS to go into your trap or snare.
