Beaver pros. ??? - 09/01/15 03:37 AM
I just got another beaver contract and this location is very different from any others I have done It does not have any dams, and no wood lodge. It is a six acre pond that has a stream coming in on the east end with a man made dam on the west end. All mature woods on the south shore with at least 8 old caved in bank dens. The north bank is bare of any vegetation as it has been excavated recently
It is a Lilly pad pond. Eight feet deep. The owner "thinks there is only two beavers". I told him not likely. He has only owned it for two years so he had no idea on history of the besvers there.
There is still excavation happening at location including tomorrow the contractor is removing the east side culvert and building a bridge that will span 12 feet across the stream
There are three slides on the West Bank that are obvious. To west is brush an swamp that is going down a earthen dam that goes to the outlet creek that had no dams.
My thoughts are drowning rigs at the slides. Drowning rigs in front of a couple "cāstor mounds". And some 330 in any channels I can locate in streams.
Setting it tomorrow late afternoon. Any suggestions welcome
