Post by: Mt.Beaver on December 15, 2019, 05:55:43 PM: Hi, I have some pictures and will figure a way to get them up soon. The beaver was chewing the hell out of trees along a marina planting strip in Ballard(Lake Wash. Ship Canal) I could not figure how it was getting up there. Cement bulkhead, cyclone fencing, gates? Maybe it stole a keycard ? Anyway I hung a Hancock trap over the dock and suspended it in the water with some castor scent and two days later had the beaver. I was surprised by the size of it. Usually I am trapping beavers in Lake Union by the houseboats or Lake Washington. I left another trap in just to make sure that was it. I pulled it this morning. We will be watching the remaining trees for new damage and have wire wrapped the important trees remaining. That's the story for now.
