I did beaver eradication (impossible task, lol) for a couple of years. Averaged 250 miles a day, usually starting at 4:00am, and getting back home around 9:00 PM. At any given time, would have 150 - 200 sets out. Abosutely wore out a Toyota 4WD in 2 years.
There were days that I'd call the land owners/ managers and / or game wardens and tell them where the carcasses were piled so they could come pick them up and dispose of them. Too many for me to haul off. I'd have to look at my books, but I think the most caught in any one day was 53....and that was in late July or early August.
Talk about hot, nasty work. Nothing I've ever done compares to a beaver swamp on a 95 degree day for nasty.
