How to Snare Beaver with a Vertical Kill Pole Drowning Rod

[JJ-Toreddie]

Excellent. By any means as necessary.
In the good ole days my Grandfather got paid by the state to clear beaver dams using dynamite. I would estimate he cleared over 250 dams

I've been trapping beaver for a decades, and have to say that is an excellent idea. I also can see that used from the bank where the water is to deep for wading. A fellow can make his set from the shore, push that rod setup in the deeper water with the drowner, from shore. Then recover the whole set from the shore again. Good job Meat Trapper, Thank You, again.

Thanks that’s the best kill pole video explanation I’ve seen.
We have similar laws in Georgia but they’re even more restrictive so count your blessings.

I am a landowner in Alabama. If you asked permission I can't imagine someone telling you no. When it comes to beavers, I don't care how you do just that it gets done.

Trying to understand how it is that anchoring your set to the bottom isn't also the same as stepping on it? 🤔 That's the way it is here in Wisconsin.

Again, outstanding job, you are teaching us valuable skills I thankyou

[AlexDoucet]

If you step out of boat and touch the bottom is considered trespassing then won't staking tour snare to the bottom also be considered trespassing? Wouldn't that be the same if I didn't have permission on the other side of a fence where I see a good trial so instead of crossing the fence I just reach over and place my snare while still on my side of the fence? And if you can stake it to the bottom which is private property then shouldt you then also be able to stake on the bank of the same property?

Interesting, that wouldn't fly in MI. Your traps would still be considered trespassing here, due to the fact your material/traps/snares are still in contact with the land owners property. I love the idea though, might have to try it where I do have permission.

[joshuabogart]

What is the length of the snare you used here?

[Beavertrapper]

no issues with beaver tipping or pulling over your poles?
also what is the "donut' made out of ?

[tallybeaverman]

I catch more Beaver with these, than I do with any other set.

[bradheath]

They can’t pull the pole up out of the mud ? How deep is the pole in the mud ?

[wallaceviviansadventures]

that's a great setup with great success.thanks for sharing

You can use this method on leaned up on a tree if you have permission. I was under the impression in Alabama that of your trapping devices touched bottom you was trespassing that it didn’t have to be your person. They leave so many of these things open to the wardens discretion that I’m almost afraid to set without permission. I do love beaver floats in the river though. I use them with 2 body grips on each and usually a couple a area close by. I’ve had some 20+ beaver days and let me tell you I was thankful to have kids that loved skinning critters lol. Triston loved skinning beavers and rats and Parker just loved having the knife in his hand asking when we was making more beaver sticks lol

[nikkibrooks]

In ks still illegal as the rod is touching the bottom

[parrotbill]

Man that is pretty slick! Do you have to make those drowning locks or can you buy them?

[chimas]

thanks, hopefully i get the chance to try them out.

[carlmunger]

I enjoy all your videos I've learned a lot from you.I just started trapping my son and I are having a lot fun but still have a lot to learn.We are from Stuttgart, Arkansas

If you stick the stake in the mud you would be on the land owner property you would still be setting on his land that is the way it is Iowa if your boat hit ground you are trespassing if you stick a stick in the mud you are trespassing. May be different in your area the other thing is how do you know which side the beaver is going to swim why not hang a snare off of each side off of one drowned and if you wanted multiple catches the go ahead and put to stakes down. Really great video you do a awesome job!,
Thanks
