How do you use snares?
Bend the snare cable upward slightly, just inside the lock, so the snare loop is not closed by the wind (see Figure 1). Attach snares to a solid object so captured animals cannot escape. A steel 1/2-inch diameter rebar, 24 to 30 inches long (depending on soil hardness), makes a good anchor.
What size trap do I need for Beaver?
Size: A beaver’s body and tail must be able to fit comfortably inside the trap. An extra-large trap – at least 42″ long and 15″ wide – is best for beavers. Durability: Wire should be at least 2 mm thick, or 12 gauge, and galvanized to stand up to moist environments.

SNARE stands for SNAP receptor, SNAP stands for soluble NSF attachment protein, and NSF stands for N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor! Recently a less informative but more direct use of the SNARE acronym has been used: soluble N-ethylmale-imide-sensitive factor-attachment protein receptors [1, 4-5].
How do snare wires affect sound?
The more wires a snare has the more they influence the drum sound; fewer wires allow a more pure drum sound. Generally, more wires will result in a crisper, brighter sound. While using more wires adds articulation, they can dampen or even choke a drum’s sound.

A weight should be placed on the end of the pipe. Allow about one quarter of the pipe to extend on the downstream side of the dam. Beaver pipes work best where the flooded area is more than 1 acre and the minimum water depth at the pond is 0.5 m (18 in.) or deeper.
