Just started trapping

You need to realize a snare is not an instant death in the best of cases, and some animals can pull stakes by jumping, or getting higher and pulling up. If you grab a staked trap or snare and can pull it without a lot of effort, cross stake or add a second stake and wire them togther. Then try it again, same goes for wire tie offs. Beaver are some devils to hold, they get big, and no point in catching them if they are gone when you check your traps.
