Hey folks spring has sprung and the ice should be off the rivers here within 3 weeks. I am just sittin here twidling my thumbs before i can get back home and start shooting and trapping beavers. Last year the ice came off the river on my land april 21st i expect it to be around that time again this year. I don't plan on putting any traps out till the ice is off because otherwise the water level rises too fast and i end up swimming to them lol. This just may be my favorite time of the year. Does anyone else hunt or trap them? If so when are you starting up?
