Well, I own some 110 and 220 conibear traps, but I've been dealing with some pretty large beavers (45-60 pounds) in and around our pond. I've trapped with larger conibears and they are easily the more effective beaver trap, but I figured I'd try some heavy duty snares. I put out about 10 snares on both sides of the causeway between our pond and the drainage area that has been backing up due these pesky beavers. It took about four days and I had a snare or two tripped but came up empty. I went down Saturday morning and found one caught up in the snare; I dispatched it quickly. I only took the hind legs and cooked them up...it's pretty rich meat. There is still another beaver I'm trying to get rid of, but this is an endless battle. Still it really keeps your skill level up
This is the first time I've caught a beaver in a snare...it mangled my snare though.
