...to see where a trap needs to be.

Pretty good beaver crossover. Now guarded with snares.

And the dam blocking the old culvert pipe under the old road..

Now guarded by two lured 750s on Black Widow stands.

Do beaver in the south switch to eating pond plants, grass and vines as they become available?

I love those type of set ups! Doing a job now with similar conditions, beaver sliding up next to the culvert....snares are in position.

Snared a young female otter at this crossover this morning. She was hip caught and I cut her loose. That's always an exhilarating task...lol...and it was this time....

Can't image anything worse to let loose. They are never happy to say the least.


Wife: That's the 4th time you've gone back for dessert, doesn't that embarrass you? Me: No, I keep telling them it's for you.

Didn't get bit, but did get a back foot claw on both hands. Minimal scratches. Just part of the job...lol

Swamp, I wonder if someone could come up with long handled cable cutters for those situations?
