All right, good boys. Oh, this is a spot where I've trapped before, but I've had problems finding water. If I don't have water, I'm kind of screwed here. If I got water, I got a chance of making sets.

I can punch through the ice in a couple of different places to see how deep it is. If I'm lucky, I'll find the feed pile. This is an essential piece of equipment for life for me out here. Otherwise, I'd have to go out and spend hours and hours and hours opening up a hole just to get water.

Most important thing is I need to have some water between the bottom of the ice and the bottom of the lake. You need an area there where the beavers can swim in and get caught in your traps. That's half the battle right there.

Now, I got to see how thick the ice is and how deep the water is. Got about 8 inches, so it's not ideal, but I think it'll work right here. I'm just going to set a conibear. I didn't make the hole really big for doing a lot of snares on this, and conibears are really positive—if you nail one, you nail them good with a conibear.

I'm going to have to just take a chance here. See, right now I got no safety on it. If that trigger goes off, the whole thing goes off on me. All right, I think that might work. I think that's going to work.
