anyone got any tips for mole/groundhog hunting because there is a bunch of em on private property my family owns in upstate NY(sullivan county) and im just about ready to kill em. Plus there is also a beaver there, anyone got scouting tips for beavers?

for beavers look for freshly downed treesand trails leading to the water
make sure the stump of the trees are still moist and follow the trails to water. take some freshly cut poplar, cut the poplar in 2 pieces each 1 foot long and strip the bark off. For traps take a #3 colspring of double longspring. try to find their castor mounds (they stink so there not that hard to find)
level off a little ledge for the trap to sit on and then set the trap on the ledge. Make sure the trap is staked REALLY good. then set the pieces of the poplar above the trap so when the beaver comes out of the water to investigate the poplar he will step in the trap.


Good luck

anyone kno anything else about anything beaver hunting???

Tear a hole in its dam. Wait for it to come out. Then pop it. What are you going to be shooting it with?

Sit on the river bank at dusk and blast them with the 30-06. Thats what i did. Also with the .22, and another 5 with the bow. I dont mess with the dams or anything, to muddy. Allthough, thats kinda what your suppose to do to get them to comeout, they normally check them every night anyways.
