I've never had a beaver problem until this year. Thus far the local semi-retired trapper has caught two. The first time he caught a beaver on the first day he set traps and the second time I called him he caught another beaver on the first day. They were chewing down small/medium size willow trees and other smaller type trees. The trapper said small twigs with bark chewed off is a good sign of beaver being present. I was happy to learn beavers dont eat fish. This last time a few weeks ago the beaver was living basically in big tree root system of a large tree that straddles the pond water. The trapper said usually the males will come up creeks from Lake Tawakoni...make a home....then head back out to find a female. I joked with my new wife that's kind of what i did....worked hard....got a house....then went out and found a female.
