I use dog chains. I have never seen a beaver survive a 330. I had a very large (12-14 inches in dia.) snapping turtle crawl into a 330. It cracked his shell open like an egg.

Only had 2 traps go missing. One was stolen as the chain stake and spring stakes were pulled up straight out of the hole and no sign of disturbance at the trap. The other was a mess of fur , blood ect at the trap site with an obvious trail. In that case I found the trap (with beaver bones) about 50 yards away where the yotes had dragged the beaver and trap to their lunch spot.
