Caught My First Beaver!!!!
« on: January 10, 2004, 10:35:18 AM »
I went to the river this morning to check my only beaver trap. When I got to it I heard a big splash. I ran to it to see a preety good sized beaver hiding under the water. He must not have dove in the water upon steppin in the trap so didn't drown. He was firmly caught my a back foot in my #3 duke coilspring. My castormound set finally paid off, and yal where right. Beaver trapping is addictive and i am an addict.

Thanks for Everyhting,
Zach Ellis :grin: :grin:  :grin:

congrats,

i've only caught a few myself, but it is very addictive, there is something about it that makes me keep putting traps out.
