Underwater Beaver Trapping Course - Part 2

This is the second installment of a four part series teaching how to trap beaver under the ice in winter, as taught by Ross Hinter. Each video begins by listing the topics that will be covered and has chapter markers to make finding the sections easier. A link will be presented at the end of each video linking to the next one.

This video was recorded during an outdoor course offered by the Alberta Trappers Association.
