Hi Paul & All,
    Food can also limit beaver. This was demonstrated clearly in an area =
of about 9 square miles in which I had hunted deer for many years; high =
ground SW to NW of West Bay. I don't now recall details but the lesson =
was clear.
    When the Spruce Budworm killed large areas of Fir and Spruce this =
beaver unfriendly woodland became thickets of Birch, Maple & Alder. From =
a nucleus of beaver that had been limited to streams near =
Alder/Sphagnum/Sedge bogs there was a starburst of beaver dams into =
these new food areas which gradually faded as the conifers took over =
again.
Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville

  Hi All
  I also see them in salt water from time to time.
  Beavers go to considerable trouble to make their
  homes in spots where the water level is not changing=20
  all the time and may find tides disconcerting.
  Not too mention the lower temperature of the salt water.
  A long time trapper in his 80s told me a few days
  ago he will not trap this fall for the first time in many years.
  I asked if he was retiring =E2=80=93 No no he said, too young for =
that!
  but the price was so low it wasn=E2=80=99t worth it.
  So we can look for an increase in beaver populations in the next
  few years =E2=80=93 Good news for some, not so good for others.
  Enjoy the fall
  Paul

  We see them occasionally in the cove which is predominately salt.
