Excellent tip for carrying beaver. It works well for coyotes and bobcats too. Best season for bobcats was 17 several years back, and my best selling price was 1250.00.

Good video. I take a piece of rope. And a old piece of garden hose. Slide rope inside it. Tie slip knots on each in. I can carry a beaver or 3 coons out at a time. I caught 25 coyotes so far out a hunting club. Has a big creek on it. I have taken 12 otters out of it. 1 duke 220 in a otter slide has taken 7 otters so far. I had 3 otter sets out.

Very nice. We have some pretty good frozen spells, but it doesn’t last all season. Usually it’s after Jan 1. I get a good solid month of decent ground, but after that, it’s get a little more difficult. I tried snaring years ago, just when it was the “perfect” snare hole. My dad is a great snaresman, and would always encourage me to use them. Once I got the hang of it, I would take snares over traps if I had to choose one or the other. My trapline is a 50/50 split on traps, ands snares. Some sets are definitely “have to have a trap” type, then some will be better with a snare. Good luck next season if you decide to pursue the snaring more.
