More Large Beaver
Today netted 3 more big beaver and brought closure to two more ADC locations. The smallest beaver was 41 pounds at the first location, while the next spot produced a 45 and 60 pounder. Again, the smallest trap took the largest beaver. A 12x15x36 double door Comstock trap constructed like the 12x12x36 got the 60 pounder.
Plans are to make a 12x12x32 for beaver, which will push the practical limit in a small but adequate trap. With one 12x18x32 inch trap currently in use, I hope to put some more 32 inch traps together this winter in 12×12, 12×15 and 12×18.
