My nephew told everyone what happened, lots of calls early today teasing.

I missed them after about noon when my phone died. I was shocked it worked when I got up out of the water and took it out of my pocket and put it up on the bank. That made the fall expensive. I hate not to have it when I see something cool, like someone falling in the water!

Yes everything is frozen except his spring fed creek, I was really surprised, it was all open. It is in a deep valley in a woods out of the wind with all kinds of springs running in. Probably why there are beaver there. I set two 330 belisles in pinch points with some fencing. I don't know exactly where the bank dens are lots of undercut tree roots along the sides. I will figure them out.

My nephew was excited that one of the 2 sets I put in suitcased a 30 pounder yesterday. I am going to put in a couple more today to see if there are any more. He wants a bigger one.

Heal up I say…I view every stream bank and ditch side with skepticism and caution these days.

My nephew didn't see me stick the landing but heard the splash and saw me on my back in the water. It was cold and filled up my hip boots. I tried to jump up when I remembered my phone was in my back pocket.

I am already getting very sore. Sucks getting old, I told him he is going to carry out the beaver.
