reworked and rebaited the sets , had a good bit of close calls on the sets last night and still critters moving in the creek . should be more catches in the morning . the mink or otter has to mess up and give me another chance . ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9uG3JJM7hs
the weights on the beaver was 51 & 54 pounds .i had a feeling something was holed up in the den . wound up being a 1 year old kit . the rain moved out and it got much colder and everything moved last night . had a great double on my snare catches on BIG beaver . this makes the overall tally on the beaver from this small lake area 7 beaver and one otter .

no catches today , it takes time to zero in on the travel patterns . got new sets put on every crossover and a toilet log i found . as soon as a cat or otter comes through , i should have a catch . they are hard to pattern .
