One more thing, these are similar to a have-a-heart small animal trap, only larger. They have an entrance at 1 end and a release exit on the other. Approx. size is 24"X12"X12". Should I cover these w/ sticks, grass, etc. or no?
That is way too small for Beaver, IMO, a Beaver live trap usually is about 40" square when opened. What you have described is about right for Raccoons or other small mamals.
