Default 280's for beaver

I haven't tried them for beaver..

Pro's and con's?

I only really do castor mount sets so I'm thinking if I block the trap in well enough they would work well.

I have a few but they're always my last traps I set. They work good i just dont like them because they seem small. More of a mental thing on my part.

I pulled my 280's out to get an idea for size.. I think they will work for castor mound sets if the set is blocked in very well so beaver doesn't have a big space to move into.

I'm going to try a couple..

I've got several locations Im doing beavers right now and ran out of 330's. I'm going to grab more, but thought I'd try 280's in meantime.

Grab yourself some TS 85s with drowning rods for your castor sets. Game changer
