Busy beaver lodge

Yes,  330 are used for beaver.  I use a trap setter.  Basically just 2 metal bars with notches on the ends that work like a big pliers.
330 have to be at least 50% submerged to be legal in minesota.

I use a tall coni H stand.  I really like them.

Very interesting DK.  I used to trap muskrats as a kid but never did use a conibear.

So how does the stand work, and why 50% underwater?

I've trapped rabbits, weasels, coons and gophers.... just learning about these dang beavers & otters. Cause they gotta go.
Nobody around here traps anymore, so I guess it's up to me.

I was wondering that too...

A dog can easily stick his head in a 330 and then its game over. If it half submerged dog shouldn't stick his head in it. Coni stands are quicker than using sticks.

I've learned a lot from YouTube.  I like 330maniacs videos.
