Spring Beaver Trapping


4 Cel.  We'd noticed a big colony of Beavers up at First Swamp in Walkers Valley.  Now that the ice is opening we are going to take one or two.
We use a 330 Conibar in an underwater set.


Hannah thinks this is a fishing hole.

    So nice to see Hannah still right with it! and seemingly so interested in everything going on.

    Do the goats go to lower elevation in the winter? Where and when do the wolves get them?

    Hi Art... we've observed Mtn Goats in the tree line way below the Mountains they stay on, in Feb. The wolves tracks head right up to the ridges on the Goat Mountains. The Goats winter on Mountains that get a really high wind to blow off all the snow. This Centre Mountain has a large wind swept slope on the Western side. These open slopes are along way away from the cliffs. If the Wolf can walk on top of the snow it goes up there.
