No Fur Damage to Animals Caught in Beaver Cages
ADC and fur trapping are separate, but blend together during the open fur seasons. When I get calls during opening trapping seasons during fall and winter or spring there is opportunity to utilize the fur. What is quite noticeable is that when beaver, muskrats or otter are caught in cage traps under water there is no fur damage whatsoever. Body gripping traps seem always to leave a small rub like mark at the neck, a little patch of fur missing, especially in spring when beaver are beginning to shed. Having used many different brands of body grippers, all sizes, standard and magnums, some fur damage is a fact of life in many cases. The great part about the cage traps is finding animals in tact, minus any kind of marks, no rubs, a "perfect" hide.
