Bushwhacking a few weeks ago I stumbled across a beaver
lodge in unique location which had little water with one beaver channel leading
from the lodge to a very small brook. With the wet spring beavers built a small
earth dam which raised the water level enough to support a lodge. Sometime this
summer the dam breached, not sure whether natural or mechanical. I thought this
would be an interesting place to set several camera traps. The first day
checking for tracks there were moose, deer and beaver. Checking this week, no
new tracks visible, the ground is drying up. Cameras traps did catch a bear,
hare, beavers and otters. The goal is to catch a bear, bobcat and coyote
checking this easily accessible lodge. Well, got the bear out of the way. Wasn’t
sure that was going to happen before the bears den this fall. We’ll see what
next week brings …..
