Dealing with young beavers trying to establish colonies.
I have two different locations set. At both ditches we have a pair of young beaver trying to establish their own colonies. At the first location I have caught one of the beavers and missed the other at an earlier date. The second location I set yesterday thinking it was a bigger colony. Made two catches on video and now believe these are the two that have been living here for some time building the area up to raise their first liter of babies. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guu9hwxzPeA

Head over to check out the ditch upstream from the big pond and get some sets out there. It doesn't go as planned but I am able to show why it is important for growth to seek out the knowledge that you don't know.
