Being bored again yesterday I decided to put my one float out in front of my house since the ice had receded about 30 feet most of the way around the lake. I was not expecting much this soon but eventually it produces. So when I looked out the window in the fog this morning I saw this: (trap gone) I walked out to check it figuring maybe a muskrat had fired it: This concludes my morning entertainment .
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Big mistake you made. Should have set two traps. I usually have at least one foothold and another bodygripper on shore but I was not expecting action that soon. I am so lazy that one beaver a day is about perfect. The bait sticks were not touched after this one was caught so doubt any more came along last night.

Big mistake you made. Should have set two traps. OK, you have gone and done it now....you have motivated me to set another 330 close to my shore. Just got back from setting it before it got dark. I pulled the floating reed out of there after I took the picture.

Sure glad someone is chasing them. Is this going to turn into a Lesters monolog like last year.? I hope not. I am not chasing them...they are coming to me. I'm too lazy to do any serious chasing...maybe a little after the ice is gone and I can get a boat in.

It is nice to see open water! We are still running 4 wheelers on the ice here.
I have nothing clever to put here.
