He almost got away!

I got beaver # 7 today. I went to the set and couldn't find my trap. All the sticks that were holdning it were there but no trap. After searching for a minute I started to get mad thinking someone stole my trap and/or beaver. I checked the rest and they were empty. I went out into the deeper watet and noticed a tree floating that I knew was behind my trap yesturday. I lifted it and found my trap and beaver. The tree was about 10 feet long and 3 inches thick. The trap didn't kill him right away and he went 20 yards out into the deeper water. When he went through I don't understand how but all the stakes were not moved at all. Like he jumped up when he got caught. He almost got away. Learned my lesson. Always wire the trap to a tree or seperate stake.
