How to Trap Beavers Under the Ice

Beaver meat is one of the most important tools in a trapper's toolbox, but it can be difficult to catch beavers once winter has set in. The Backwoods Boys have spent a lot of years learning from old timers and their own mistakes, and are excited to offer a step-by-step tutorial for under the ice beaver trapping. Key steps include: determining if a beaver house is "live" or "active", choosing between baited free hanging traps or entrance sets, finding the entrance and properly positioning the trap, not falling through holes in the ice, and many more. Come along for a winter adventure and see how we do things on the Backwoods Boys northern trapline.
