We just put a new video on You Tube. This one is on the line checking 5 Comstock Swim Through Beaver Cage Traps in the woods up on a mountain. It shows perpendicular and parallel dam sets as well as a pair of dam break sets, one submerged and one on top, half out of the water.
Though some might think it to be too much work to haul cages, this shows what can be accomplished without much effort. Three cages were sledded in the first day and two more the second day. Due to the effectiveness of the traps, with sprung traps rare, pulling the cages up the mountain proved to be very mush worthwhile in taking all 6 beaver in just two checks, without a miss.
Using a 2 foot wide sled, all 5 cages were loaded up with 3 beaver inside. Because I usually set from 2 to 4 traps in most instances, the number of cages set was very much in line with what I have done in the past using conibear type traps.
