Thanks for the ride-along, very interesting. Could you explain what the risers are for because I have no clue? The risers are to control the water level in the ditches. Boards can be put in the risers if higher water is wanted in the ditches.

The Adventures of Culvert Trapper, lol. Glad you caught a few beaver's while you were 'loafing'. LOL - This kind of loafing gets tougher every year on this old man.

You should make more posts like this one, Paul. I'm usually going full tilt to get to all the sites I need to and don't even think about doing this. I did this once before on here. I thought about that last night and though I'd give it another go. I put my camera in the truck last night so I would remember to do it. Otherwise, I'd have forgotten all about doing it. Here's the one I did about 9 years ago. I didn't realize it was that long ago. https://trapperman.com/forum/ubbthr...age-day-on-my-line-pic-heavy#Post1749150

It depends on the age it seems like. The younger the trees the quicker they tend to die from their roots being submerged.

How do you know if there is one beaver left to catch, or that you have them all? My beaver trapping knowledge is preschool level. In that first place, after I caught all the beavers that wanted to be caught easily, I noticed a cutting now and again. So, I figured there was another one there.

Now mind you, the water I caught them in was 72 degrees coming out of the power plant and not a normal stream. Beavers made a dam just downstream of the plant and the water was backing up into the plant. I was asked to catch them, and I did.

Paul, Those water control structures, they appear to have slots to insert boards to control depth, but do they also put screens or grates in front of them? The shape seems it would catch everything going through them. How large a culvert runs through them?
