ADC beaver update

Still rolling along with the nuisance beaver, we are now up to 435 total in the Comstock swim through cages since the fall of 2010.  Got three more today.  Yesterday we got a call about a small culvert being plugged over the weekend.  At that point the channel was deep, non visible, but distinct.  With the potato hook it was easy to find the 18 inch wide dish.  I was able to literally throw in two traps in a couple of minutes.  Upon arrival today the it was easy to see that the water was back to normal, a small ditch, indicating that the beaver had been taken.  With a pair of matched 40 pounders in the cages, male and female, the job was over in a matter of hours, quite typical.  Many of these jobs involve a pair of beaver.  Two traps is all that's necessary quite often.

We are just a shade under 95% for this year, Beaver taken in Comstock Cages compared to other devices.
