Anyone take pictures of beaver houses.

Here is a couple I took today while scouting.

I didnt know the beavers mudded their houses in the far south where it dont freeze?

Boco, those are post card quality pictures. I have never taken pictures of any here but I bet they wouldn't look that nice.

Awesome Shots Boco

Nice pictures, Boco! I wish I would have taken pictures on one I found in a back slough up to the north of me on the Mississippi about 15 years ago. It was honestly the size of my house, if not bigger. Most amazing beaver house I have ever seen.

Nice pics Boco!

I trapped a huge pond off and on for years, depending on water level I could occasionally see what I thought was a lodge on the far side, that I could not access. Then I got a better look one year and decided it was actually a slash pile from the logging that had occurred years before. Next trip, several years later the "slash" pile was covered with peeled sticks and poles. It was actually a beaver lodge, about the size of a small house. No wonder I never ran out of beaver there.

Nice pics.

I see mostly bank beavers around here.

Nice photo

nice pic. guys , thanks for sharing

Beaver are just about the craziest critter there is.
Get up every morning and haul more mud, gnaw on more trees, and see what we can create.
Imagine all the folks who go through this life and never think about a Bev.
They sured missed it!

Thanks y'all for the photos.

Blessings,

If beaver had TV they wouldn't be so active. If people didn't have TV they could build nice houses too like a beaver.

Did you ever notice the correlation between the size of the TV and the amount of social assistance a family is on?

Great pics everyone, thanks for sharing. I should have taken one of the new lodge I saw at the lake last week when I was at the lake taking the boats out for the season.

Haven't you heard? Beaver houses in Canada are bigger, cheaper, stronger and the occupants live in true freedom!

socialized medical heath care to boot as well.

It's mostly bank dens down here. Only seen a few other beaver houses. Pike that's a retake of a picture I took 25 years ago.

Cool pics!

Nice pics.Keep em coming.

Laying up some feed.

I had this 1000 piece puzzle made with pics of my son and I working
a couple of lodges.

Nice pics Boco-beautiful country you trap.Wish we had more beavers around these days-3 years of drought in a row has done it's damage.Just not the numbers down south in Manitoba.Up north might be a different story here though.Love seeing your beaver trapping adventures.

That's awesome! I showed my wife,and now shes ordering a puzzle from a picture of our grandkids for them to put together.Thanks.

Cool Pictures.. How do you "Not" get excited when you find lodges and Dams like that.?

Boco, I thought some beavers flew the Canadian flag by their house?

Thanks, saskfly.

I guess some do,LOL.

Huh. Look more like Covid bound Canadian snowbird RVBO opportunity’s to me.

Thats a doozy for a bank den arcman.

Thats a doozy for a bank den arcman.

Jeeze Boco....all I have is a flip phone. Looks like I’ll have to bring my I pad ...to add some pics to your thread.

Glad to hear nessy.
I dont have any phone,just use a cheap waterproof camera,so if it goes under water with me it wont get wrecked.

Blue heron nests maybe?

Might be Osprey nests.

Those trees days are numbered !
Does look like GBH nest, or you have over-sized house wrens there.
Been my experiences as well Boco, water and cameras don't mix well just like water and beer, it ain't going to happen

Yes, I have about 50-75 of them on my pond.

The lodge isn't in the frame but you can see the sign everywhere.

Boco I bet you didn't realize Texas was so big!

Those pictures of the Texas ponds look alot like the ponds out back of my place in ontario. Must be nice there too.

Thats a nice pic,leftlane,it reminds me of a place on the RR between North Bay and Temagami if it had tall white pines.
What are all those deciduous trees-look like good beaver habitat for sure.

Those are some great pictures. Do you use a camera or camera phone?

Thanks aix-I try to get some of the scenery into the background when I snap catch pics too.I use a mid price (kind of cheap compared to some) fuji waterproof camera.
My old olympus gave up the ghost after a beaver baptism,so I bought the waterproof one.

So tough to get snares in place !

Hey Rally,thats a cool rack on the front of the little tundra.

Yep, nice work platform and keeps Popple out of the windshield some too. Two wingnuts and two pins to remove it. Holds a couple good beaver to keep the skis down when the trailer gets heavy.

Canadian translation of popple is Trembling aspen...... the tree trembles when it hears a beaver chewing near by.
And in keeping with a winter theme.


and who said beaver cant make 500 yards under ice.


The house in the foreground a beaver swam out past one already caught, and 2 minutes later heard the trap go off in the house on the corner

Rally's pictures (except the first one) look like they could have been taken yesterday the way MN weather has been.

The first one is a beaver dam. I'm standing on one end and the other end is at the tree line way out there!

The wife likes to watch the beaver in the evening when she comes to our camp.
