Hey guys, I had a trap and castor shy beaver earlier this year. He was really edgy, so I left the area for a few weeks to calm down. He left the creek he was in and moved into a small pond down stream. I finally caught up to him today, and while I was setting traps, he popped up behind me and slapped his tail. I’m wondering if he’s on to me? Will he move again? Also, will a castor shy beaver still avoid castor mounds in the spring, when they are extremely territorial? Thanks
Ave don't go where the beaver don't flow

It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

If your seeing him,just shoot him,never mind fooling around with traps,unless there are more beavers there-then set heavy.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Went back this morning and had him on the castor mound, with castor from one beaver from a different colony. Thanks for the advice!
