A few Beaver Cage Statistics-Weight
Size and weight definately play a role in the selection of a beaver cage trap. Engineered and configured for strength and durability, the traps are built from the lightest materials that will hold up. The standard 12x18x39 beaver cages weigh a bit over 23 lbs., well within the range of acceptability.
Always experimenting with shorter and smaller cages, the last two beaver cages we made to try out were even more user friendly. The 12x18x32 “shorty” weighs under 20 pounds, 19-13! A second trap measuring 12x15x36 came in at an amazing 17-10, both incredibly light for their capabilities. Both traps produced large beaver on the first set, the first a 45 pound beaver and the second a 50 pound beaver.
