I have been after a "magic" beaver I think
This beaver on the job I posted about before, keeps amazing me.
So here is the latest: I had put small breaks in dams two days ago, no repairs yesterday (the cool thing was I got a coyote on the camera crossing on the dam). Anyway I made the breaks much larger. One dam has two foot holds on drowning rods. The other has 330s up stream in the channel. So this mornings check revealed:
Both dams repaired and built about 6 inches higher
Both foot holds set off with no beaver (1 right where set the other down the. 12 foot rod about 5 feet)
This is the dam where the camera is. NO VIDEO OF BEAVERS, just a deer
The other dam one 330 moved from channel to edge of stream laying on its side not set off
The other 330 moved a little, still in stand but completely, I emphasize completely covered with mud, seaweed, and grass, like they built a dam on it and in it, and it was not fired
This is embarrassing, and I also don't get how they fixed the dam and never set off camera, prior to setting traps I had this beaver on the dam every other night on film
