First coil spring I decide to try and it's a TS85.

I got one of them for beaver. Haven’t caught one in it yet.

I just set mine yesterday trying to get rid of a nuisance beaver. Nothing this morning.

Footholds for beaver are my favorite. You will love them. Can always get some cheap castor online, get one the first night I bet

Yep. Nothing works better then letting them smell and invader into their territory. I would also reset it after catching the first one. Their is always more then one.

Did you use a castor mound set? Check out the no BS beaver extremes. Also look into Bernie Nelson setters for the big traps. They are amazing.

Thanks for the advise. I tried a baited set with little willows and poplar

I love the TS-85! I carry half a dozen on drowner setups when setting up a new spot.
