It was recently suggested that Comstock Custom Cage should offer smaller beaver cage traps to fit into 2 foot and 3 foot culverts, which are common in many areas. What this statement underscores wasn’t a shortcoming in the Comstock Beaver Cage Traps, but a need to reiterate and fully explain the versatility in these cage traps and show where they can be used, even in small culverts.
Not only are the large 12x18x39 Comstock Beaver Traps self contained with nothing protruding beyond the confines of the trap, so that they can easily be slid into culverts, these traps are capable of taking the largest beaver, 70 or 80 pounds and at the same time will fit into 3 foot and 2 foot culverts!
The diagonal measurement of the beaver cage trap with the 12×18 inch opening is 22 inches, leaving 2 inches to spare when placed in a small 24 inch culvert!
We also offer the smaller 12x12x36 inch beaver/otter cage trap with a 17 inch diagonal meaning that this cage will even fit into an 18″ culvert.
