@pcsoutdoors ok thaks

@MITrapper16 drowning is better no bullet holes in the pelt and there is less of a chance of them getting free but its really personal preferance.

@pcsoutdoors ok! well thank you.

i have one more question though. i have caught a few beavers, but i have never dont the drowning sets. is it nessasary to drwon them.

i just use stakes or cable leads to attach them to trees then i disbatch them with a 17 hmr.

is that an appropreate way to trap beavers on a rivers edge in your opinon?

@MITrapper16 yes 12 will work just fine

[MITrapper16]
