    New Jersey

    I love the outdoors NJ but I do think the government of the state stinks big time.If the pines had caves and mountains we'd have it all.I used to think mounatins and barrens couldn't go together till I visited sams point preserve in the GUNKs of NY and found the best of both worlds,Barrens on...

    Caution

    I was cogitatin on a book I read many moons ago that had beaver trapping heavily written into the plot.In the 1800's anyway they would take the castor gland from beavers and use those to scent sticks and bits of mud next to their traps to draw the beaver to them mimicking their own scent posts...

    Caution

    your no doubt right about them having to break it frequently. Is it even trapping season for beaver?I was under the impression they put the traps on their runs where they exit the water habitually,I don't know if baiting for beaver would work considerng they eat bark and wood.If so the beaver...

    Caution

    would a connibear made for a beaver even be big enough to get a human foot into? I agree Jeff,I can't see a beaver leaving their lodge in this crap,probably a trap or who knows,otter have to eat and they don't live under water and I don't believe they hibernate either.matter of fact I know they...
