There are two lodges, not far from each other. I assumed only one would be active. No? I haven't gone anywhere near them.
Not a lot of water IMO. Once the dam is removed from under the bridge it will be a stream again. Not a very high dam.


The Comstock beaver traps are $412.50 + shipping. I ordered two Wed. Planned on getting a couple more eventually, so here we are.

Could be a healthy sized colony if they used both lodges. Not sure if there’s ice there over winter? If one was abandoned, it’d generally show. Quite often out here, even a regular size colony will have an auxiliary den over winter.
Maybe they were just travellers.

Them traps certainly ain’t cheap. I’m getting a couple used ones this July for 1/2 price, the fella has around 25 that he rarely uses and willing to part with some. Probably won’t use them much, but the price is right and they’re a good tool to have in the arsenal.
