Two years ago I ran a series of  “how a beaver can kick my butt” as I attempted to catch a couple of adult beavers that had the Willow Creek dammed up real good.  Last year No Grimace got his butt kicked by another (or maybe the same one) beaver and then Magpie announced he saw a dead beaver on the freeway close by.  All beaver activity stopped and we dismantled the dam.

Just the other day No Grimace found that a beaver has once again decided our creek was a fine place for dam building.

Bones has taken the challenge on to show us how to trap a beaver.  Although she has never set a beaver trap, she is determined to catch this nuisance.  And since she has never before attempted such a feat, I have included a little video as to how to set a couple of sets.

Good luck Bones!  May the beaver trapping Gods be on your side!
