This
past week I’ve been out “Beating the Brush” looking for fisher tracks in the snow,
deer sheds and new places to set camera traps. I finally located a fisher track
on a dusting of snow on the ice. That didn’t provide much opportunity to do any
tracking. The most important find was a secluded beaver pond. There are no
trails or roads to this location. I guess the only folks that might
happenstance onto this spot is a hunter or forager. It’s certainly remote and an ideal location to
set a number of camera traps. There is one lodge with fresh beaver chews in the
area. I set two camera traps for the winter. Scouting the area showed signs of
moose, deer, coyotes, fisher and porcupine. I’m hoping bears & moose use
the area. Time will tell.
