Snares are the latest traps being used for beaver.
The noose will close, preferably over the animals body, and will hold the animal alive if properly anchored. Beaver caught will be angry and possibly aggressive, so be prepared. Snaring beaver is generally left to the experienced trapper, but they can be used in conjunction with some of the other traps if you are willing to learn different techniques. Our snares are 48 inches long. Snares are used for many animals although these are designed specifically for beaver.
