The past two days, using a couple of odd sized one of a kind traps, just because, proved rewarding.  Yesterday the 12x18x32 double powered door trap produced a 45# beaver and today a 12x15x36 inch trap produced a beaver just a shade under 50#.   These are the first to be taken in the new traps and both pretty good sized in relation to the size of the trap.  We did take a 42# in a 12x12x36 last year also.  I would bet that larger beaver can and will be taken in each of these traps without issue.  They just need some more time in the water.

Pictured is the long stick that must have been in the 45# beaver's mouth when he was captured in the 32 inch trap.  There was also a 1 inch diameter stick in the door, but the gap between door and frame was large enough not to jam the action.  The door fired and locked as it should, even with the second stick wedged in between the door and frame.
