Wesley Murphey clearly describes and illustrates the techniques that he has used to catch hundreds of beavers. Includes many different types of sets for many diverse waterways. Excellent information... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Of the several books on beaver trapping I have read, this is the best for "how to actually do it."
Well written, plenty of beaver trapping tips and photos.

I have read many beaver trapping books in my days and hundreds of other trapping related books. Wesley attacks problems most often encountered with beaver trappers in the more southern parts of the country. The book is well written, easy to understand and flows very nicely. The photos are clear and represent a very clear idea of the subject matter. Wesley does an outstanding job teaching the reader, whatever his skill may be, how to trap beaver by the hundreds if they are available. The hand drawn diagrams add that personal touch and they are easy to read. The writing of the book is flowing, easygoing and refreshing after decades of stale old beaver trapping books. Good job Wes! It's a winner!
A very good beaver book!

I greatly enjoyed reading your two books, CONIBEAR BEAVER TRAPPING IN OPEN WATER, and BLACKTAIL DEER HUNTING ADVENTURES. I also look forward to seeing your work in "The Trapper and Predator Caller" magazine. Your work really counterbalances a lot of the anti-hunting and anti-trapping sentiment which is so strong especially here in California.
