Noticed some beaver activity on my 5 acre pond a few weeks ago. Had them gone for several years then noticed some small pines cut down. Put out two MB750 traps but couldn't find my castor lure. Called around and Co-Op said they had some. Went down and purchased. It said it was a lure for racoons/muskrat and beavers??
Next day I had a drowned coon in one trap and nothing else. Left the one trap and ordered some beaver castor.
Reset the one trap last week and put the castor at both sets. One large beaver in trap the next day. Reset trap and had to leave for a few days so hope to check this weekend.
Not sure how many beavers would be in the pond, I mow around part of the pond every week so feel I spotted the new activity soon after they showed up. Guessing it may just be a couple of beavers??
Any thoughts??
More than likely a pair trying to move in but could just be a single. They get kicked out at around 2 years old so if it was one 2 year old that could be it
