Mr Dale, this is your video! You are taking your valuable time to share this information with us. I have learned a lot from you just watching you. I say that so I can say this, please try to sell your products, explain to us when, how and why to use it. This is your time, your business and your lifeline! So please "plug" your stuff as you see fit!!! Have a good one and May God bless y'all,Bo
Well that sure opened up the door for some future sets. I've got a few months to get it together on the setting of snares. Where I'm at its the square shape of the connibear that tips them off I'm pretty sure of that. But those were some really nice sets you demonstrated. The arsenal of sets you've got stored away for different species is truly amazing. A true testament of your desire of the outdoors and your willingness to share those with others is very Honorable!!! THANK YOU DALE, I definitely appreciate it Sir!!!!! Curt
At least with coyotes you can always up the enticement factor to make them overcome their fear, beaver don't care...there's nothing you can offer a wise beaver that'll force a response, aside from a blind set snare or foothold
You're making me think back on how I would handle educated beavers, when we could trap here in California. Thanks for this series and bringing back old memories!
Again Dale THANKS for putting this video out after we talked about trap smart Beavers. I have probably watched this video 10 to 12 times soaking in all the info you put out and it has worked like a charm. So far I've taken 7 of them using your techniques early in the season. They started getting really leary so I pulled out of there with a ton of season left. Figured I'd come back this Spring again to pull some more of them. Well went down there yesterday and discovered a guy trapping. Confronted him "not aggressively " and got his name and went to the landowners house to see if had given him permission to trap like he said. Landowner said he told him no I was trapping it and expected the guy wouldn't trap. I told him he was trapping and th e landowner jumped in his trk and hauled butt to the area. The guy was gone which I figured as much but I did get some info out of the Trapper. He'd been trapping 9 days and had 3 misses with toenails or hair. Then they left he said. They did that to me a long time ago also. But they moved 4 dams down to different bank dens back then and did the same thing again. But I'm thinking it would probably be a waste of time now to go back in before end of season to trap. Was just wondering what your thoughts would be on it Dale? With all your experience I figured you have had a similar experience before. THANKS Buddy
That's so crazy. I have never been a 330 fan myself and I believe I only have 3 of them as well, I do like using them on a castor mound set and that's about it. Snares, in my opinion are easier to travel with, easier to set in deeper water, and ya can set more than one on a single pole. Just all around more efficient in my opinion AND no worries if getting bit by that 330, cause if ya do, ya got some problems. Always carry a rope with a loop on it to slip on your foot and run it threw your levers 2xs to get that thing off. Very good trick just in case ya get nipped because it does happen
Nice video 🤘 i love the new snare set ideas. I like to get a snare on what i believe to be the best spot so all the surrounding sets are waiting when that first beaver is splashing around in a snare in the hot spot. Another thing ive found that works good for trap shy beaver is the pine oil that you cant get for a bowhunters cover scent. Its purely a food lure that can spike interest in the laziest of beaver.
Great info! I’m pretty effective with a 330 and foothold and I have caught them in snares but I could step up my snaring game. I’m definitely gonna give this a try. Thanks.

I’ve done beaver control work for 14 years now, I can say this video is spot on. And I learned somethings. Thank you for sharing. Excellent video👍

You sure aren't wrong there, if there's a shape all beaver learn to recognize eventually, it's a 330 conibear...no matter how good you blend it lol

Excellent little video. Keep ‘em coming!
I enjoy and learn a lot from your videos & I have been trapping for 52 yrs. Keep it up !
Thank you Dale, i have learned so much from your videos , so much is just common sense stuff , that we never think of.
Great video with great information Dale. I have got one to get after with some snares once I get back to the house.
Another great video as always Dale!!
