I'm pretty sure we set them correctly, it's a pretty big area and they probably just haven't found them yet.
Starting in on some small trees below the my dam.

Here's a photo I took of some swimming around laughing at me earlier.
I've seen them on the bank & yes they are beaver, not nutria. Although I wouldn't be surprised to catch some nutria as I have in the past in other ponds here.
You are having about the same luck trapping beaver as I am trying to trap that pesky rat that raids my chop bin at night. Maybe it is a bait problem. So far peanut butter, bacon grease, and raisins have not attracted it. For beaver you likely need a tasty piece of green poplar bark :-)
