[QUOTE="WormWiggler, post: 198103, member: 245"] Que funny gifs, memes, and laughs... but this is cereal.... Noticed Monday that some beavers) have taken up residence in the river next to our place. Bastages got all the chokecherry again and this time took a 10’ pine down. With the river freezing my methodology of open water sniping at sunset /sunrise is not promising. I don’t have traps or knowledge on getting them in the water. I can see 3 travel lanes up the bank but don’t see recent sign. This morning I got a shot as the warm weather has made a few open holes in the ice. Before I get sucked down the google rabbit hole, I thought I would ask on here. When do beavers go after the trees? Middle of the night?, low light times? Broad daylight? What are their defenses? Obvious underwater, but do they rely on smell, sight, or hearing? Will they continue to pillage trees after freeze up or will they let up until spring? Last night in the waning light, I think I saw one run across the ice from one bank to the other. It was over quick and too far / too dark to shoot anyway. Would a beaver even do this? I always pictured them as slow and lumbering, this wasn’t a quick animal like a flat out flying cat or something. Hopefully my neighbor will trap them out like last time, but not sure if his schedule will let him. I hope to get a few more open water shots, do beaver just come up to lounge in the water? I was shocked to see the sum beach just hanging out as I was not sneaky at all. [/QUOTE]
