DonAndersen Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Guys, The ACA has finally got a contract with a guy to work on the beaver problems on Stauffer. If you are aware of any, please send me the GPS coordinates available Via Goggle Earth and I'll past them along. Regards, Don Quote
DonAndersen Posted July 18, 2009 Author Posted July 18, 2009 jksnijders, Looks like a Conibear trap with the remains still in it. Is that what it is? Don Quote
jksnijders Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Not familiar with that style of trap, but yeah, looked like the rest got scavenged. One of those big square ones you set on the beaver's trail. Would have offed him pretty quick the way it hit. Had been sitting there a while by the looks of it.. ** Just looked it up, was a Conibear trap for sure.** Quote
nomad Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Hi Don. Came across two large dams yesterday. Sorry, no GPS so I don't have the coordinates. The first one is upstream of the 761 bridge. From the bridge, it's about 1/3 of the way to the farmhouse (the one with the two big dogs that always come down to greet me). This particular dam has increased the water levels and decreased the speed of the flow all the way past that same farmhouse. It is now too deep to wade in those sections. The second one is upstream of the BFW bridge. I came across it after fishing upstream from the bridge for maybe 45 - 60 minutes. It is very large as well. I would say it is just slightly east of the Lazy M barns. The area around and upstream of this dam is now a total swamp. I have helped out with dam removal in the past. Send word if help is needed in that regard. Many thanks. Quote
tman Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 There is a large dam downstream of HW 761. Follow the North Raven Road (top of the hill, North of the bridge) east until it turns south. From the spot where this road turns east again, the dam is found straight down the fenceline. Quote
Cutman Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 This is great news. I just spent a week out at the Lazy M. the stretch downstream is definitely slowed by the dam. Lane would be able to give exact location of dams on that stretch. Parker Quote
DonAndersen Posted August 4, 2009 Author Posted August 4, 2009 Guys, Copied your comments to Marco Fontana of the ACA who is responsible for beaver removal from Stauffer. My thanks for caring enough to post. regards, Don Quote
