Yesterday after classes we went out to set some beaver traps. We ended up finding two runs leading away from a single lodge. To find the runs you drill holes with an ice auger until you find a spot in the water that is significantly deeper than the sorrounding area. This run is like a beaver highway, going from their lodge to thier food pile about 5 feet out from the lodge. You then slip a conibear trap into the run, fastened to a spruce stick, and wait. We are venturing out to the tundra once again this afternoon. Perhaps I will be munching on a beaver burger 8 hours from now. Hopefully!
