How many of you where hopeing for naughty pic's, WRONG.   Took these pic's over the w/e of this HUGE beaver, I know he's at least 50 ponds, I seen him out of the water and you can see his full body better in r/l in the water when he swims by then these pics show, These pic's don't do him justice of size either but he's big, I see them every morning and evening and he rules, Others just coward from him  cause he's double the size of most.

There pretty cool to watch in the evening, Sit on the deck and watch them usually swim close to shore from there dens, On the river Beavers can't Dam so there dens have to be able to take more water level changes that they can't control so they usually make dens in dug out holes and rocks on the river banks with multiple entrances and exits at different level. They come out of the dens at evening go eat and play beaver games all night, They get real noisy when dark. And go to there dens in the morning.

In the pics you can see the island, A lot of them swim to that island early evening right before sunset and sometimes we can see there tree's there taking down fall, There not big tree's but it's fun to watch well drinking a beer, They swim past, swim across to the island walk up the beach into the brush and after awhile you keep an eye on the tree's if you see one shaking or starting to lean then it falls, another 5, 10, 15 minutes later they come outta the beach with a limb and swim it back the same way they came, At night and in the winter they get bolder and have taken out tree's all around the cottage so we don't plant tree's and let most wild ones grow, we just adapt and watch, We enjoy watching the wild life more then killing it.

The pic of the deck has "The Bev" in the water in the back ground and the pic of "The Big Rock" you can just barley see him taking that branch under the rock, That Rock has many holes/tunnels/dens in around and under, 3 years ago there was a pair of Otters that lived there a full summer but where gone the next spring and never seen again???.

BTW,, They absolutely love left over cooked sweet corn with or without the corn on the cob, I think they might like the cob more the way they eat it.

What kind of wild life you guy's deal with?.       Roy.

That's pretty damn cool. Have I told you I'm jealous of your river cabin? I'd give my right nut for a place like that.

maybe we can put our nuts together and get it. way cool pad

I'm down, where are you thinking? There's some sweet deals in the Bullhead City/Ft Mohave area.

I'm a couple miles up river from the end of the navigational end of the Allegheny River and years ago it was not as desirable as the river front land on the lower deeper part of the river but approximately 10 years ago a big build up of river front homes even in the shallows has been in demand, I'm in the upper middle of the first natural pool above the navigational top of the river and that keeps most the Propeller boats out most the time but a little knowledge of the main channel and there is no prob for jets and some do it with I/O prop boats. And Most the canoeurs/kayakers get out at the public launch 5 miles above to avoid the next Public launch down river cause it's 5 miles of rough water with all the big power boats, It's 7 miles down river from me. So we have very little boat traffic here.

Here are some pic's of houses up river that they been trowing in, Every year there more and more..   Roy
 

Somehow, I knew you'd have a real Beaver pic in here, 

See ya at the end of July bro! Maybe my pops will let me borrow his Jon Boat, lol.
