You have the same beveled corner bridge culverts we now have in most of my area. Are you placing your otter BE sets at the outer/bottom edge, on the bevel angle or on the sq BE of the the wing wall?
I've learned enough thru the years to now know that I don't know enough. KNOWLEDGE IS FREEDOM.

You have the same beveled corner bridge culverts we now have in most of my area. Are you placing your otter BE sets at the outer/bottom edge, on the bevel angle or on the sq BE of the the wing wall? I have not been very successful on the beveled or round culvert walls for any fur I want to be under the road where things are narrower and square. That’s tough to do unless the floor of the angled approach apron is short enough to stake on the creek bottom with long cable. I passed up a lot of awesome square concrete because there was no way to anchor an otter there with frozen ground above. This all made sense in my head but I maybe didn’t write it sensibly! This was the first I did BE 330’s on concrete but I’ve done a lot on creek banks. I think getting under the road might be higher percentage than bank features.
