[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1834390, member: 498"] Beavers are about the easiest fur bearing critter there is to catch. I trapped a lot of them back in the 80's when was running a long line trap line. The best day I ever had was 12 in one day. Now days the fur is one step above useless. And trapping is easy but putting up the fur is a lot of time consuming work. I use to just do a quick job of skinning and toss the hide in the freezer until after trapping season. I had some dam the river up here. They were falling the trees along the river which took out the fence and landed in the hay field. I trapped 6 of them. Still had one doing damage. Took a lawn chair down to the river one evening. A 12 ga shotgun with 3 inch magnum #2 lead shot. No more than sat down and Mr Beaver swam by. One shot, no more beaver damage. [/QUOTE]
