I'll wait two or three days and see what developes. I think the beaver is messing with me. Freshly chewed sticks were waiting for me when I punched through the ice.

I've heard tell of stuff like that but have never experienced it. I'm not gonna lie to you, I did turn around a couple of times today hoping my poles might be rattling. Nuthin'! Spent too much time ice fishing.

I'm wondering if I'm trying to trap a bachelor beaver who is spooked by the chainsaw. Whatever it is residing down there, it's had good luck whittling around my sets.
