Recently we got an email that told of another double on beaver in the 12x18x39 beaver cage trap. This is the second double I have heard of with beaver. The first was two, two year old 25 pound beaver, while this double was with a large beaver like a blanket or extra large and a small one, maybe this years. We mentioned at least two other doubles, both with otter.
We are up to 451 beaver in the cages now, again right at 90% for the 2014 nuisance season. There has been less call for complaint beaver this year in our area than the past two years, but we still may hit 100 before its over.
Of course there are countless examples of doubles on raccoons, skunks and some with chucks in the 9x11x traps and also 2 to 4 catches being made in the swing panel traps for skunks. This year we began using the smaller 6×8 swing panel traps for small chucks and skunks.
