Hey guys after my season wound down, I was wondering about some mistakes I may have made.
When I was trapping around school here I had traps set within 30' of the beaver lodge, and it seemed that after a week of empty traps, and me being around every day, the beaver spooked or moved on because there was no fresh sign for the last 2 weeks I was there.
On the other hand, the 2 beaver I did catch were in a little stream. I had the traps set upstream from their pond and lodge about 200 yards or more.
I guess I'm just wondering if it's better to stay away from the beaver and set traps upstream from their lodges?
