Its generally active every year, which is strange for my line

Anyone have any cool lodges?

Looks like you got yourself a fancy beaver Air B&B.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

That's cool. You could sleep on it, get up in the morning and check your traps. LOL

It's even better than that. Cast for pike early spring, and largemouth in summer...shoot mallardsoff the porch in early fall, and bufflehead and ringneck right about now!

Kind of like a one stop shop!

I do nuisance beaver removal every year when lodges end up in and under big duck blinds.

Doubt anyone can share anything like that. Very unique situation and opportunistic animals.

Know some duck hunters that cut green poles for the corners of their blind ONCE. Found it down stream about 4 miles.

I seen a picture of a lodge built inside a boathouse once.
Beaver was likely confused-Houseboat,Boathouse easy to mix up when english is not the beavers first language.
