I have a question for you, which you might not be able to answer because of where you live. I am trapping in northern new york, and i am having a hard time. I caught 3 very young beaver in a 330 blind set. Then i caught a huge beaver stick that the bigger ones were dragging the next day. After all this, the adults became trap shy. I set a foot hold on a place where the beaver were walking over a damn. I missed one two days in a row, and now they are afraid of footholds too.
@TheGarrett39 You might want to look into setting some snares, they're affective on the slides and places where you know the beaver are gonna be walking. But check with your local laws if your going to use a locking snare. Some states dont allow them.
I have seen alot of trapping videos on Youtube. But you sir, have an excellent one! Just inspires me to go trapping with a friend this winter up here in Mass. Thank you
I've been trapping since "74. I've had more luck using Castor mound sets during the mating season in early Spring, but sometimes use them as a curiosity . Do you use a Castor-based lure all year-round? Thanks. Good video :)
@snyper069 I will used castor based lures pretty much most of the year. If I am trapping May-Sept I will generally use a food based lure or I am using blind sets.
@gatrapper I disagree. I have found that when it is warm they pay moreattention to exposed traps and human scent.as well as other disturbances.When the temperature is cold they don't seem to be affected very much. Where I trap In south Georgia that window is Dec. 5th to febuary 15th.
Just my observation over the years.
We need more kids involved in the sport. These videos really help.
Great how to video, I can't wait to get started trapping my property. Those beaver do a lot of damage to my land here. Maybe next year i can grow a nice garden down by the creek. Thanks.
@MrWhiskyDog Way to go this video was so informative thank you so much these sets will really help this year hope you get lots of beaver. Good luck trapping
I really like to use the KB stabilizers, they are quick and sturdy and set great on hard pan bottoms as well. Keep up the good work.

@85trapper No, beavers do not care about human scent.
