Not going to hit it hard but did promise the UofM that I would take care of some beavers for them . Went out there today and made five 330 sets . Only one was a caster set ( a ways upstream from the main beaver activity ) so not much of a test to see if they are really out and about patrolling their territory . Might set a couple other spots with castor tomorrow after delivering wood depending on how much snow we get tonight(been snowing hard so far) Still plenty of snow in the woods but was able to drive up on top of it today to get back in to where I need to go. Will try and take the camera with me tomorrow !
No sign of any young ones and usually they will clog the traps first especially when setting right on the lodge. Took a drive to another spot to see if I could make it back there with all the snow and only had to stop and shovel a bit two times. Loggers are coming in from a different way and logging aspen up to the ridge that follows the river and beaver /beavers are climbing the hill and cutting on the tops . No dam or lodge in the area but obviously there is at least one beaver there so made two bait/castor sets . Still debating on how hard I want to trap but there seems to be plenty to trap if I decide to .
