will a 220 work

[deerehunter03]

@ztbowtech I wouldn't recommend a 220 they tend to be to small if you have a bigger beaver swim into it. I would say use a 330. I don't know your laws so check on what sizes and and where you can put them. In Ohio we have to have 330's totally submerged

will a 1.75 duke coil spring work for beaver or is it to small

[deerehunter03]

@ztbowtech i would say it is to small. a #3 would be the smallest i would go

[shooterb12]

y should i go so big

[deerehunter03]

it alowes more are area for the beaver to miss and still get caught. Bassicly the foot doesnt have to be as centralized on the pan

[LivingHistorySchool]

didn't see you set it?

@shooterb12 this is just my personal method of beaver castor mound trapping. i dont go below a #4. Beaver are big animals and easily exceed 50 lbs. their front foot isnt too big but their back is very large and requires a big jaw spread for a good catch

[MrTrapper12]

where are you in Ohio??

How much do you get per Beaver?

Do Beaver reproduce fast?

@shooterb12

 Also keep in mind how big their back feet are. The larger traps give you a better chance of catching the whole foot.
