Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Wildlife Management Beavers

They are making a feed bed under water somewhere close to their den for the winter with the trees. That's normal. If you leave them alone, the kits will get kicked out of the den next spring and look for a place to live, expanding the beaver colony.

Yes, if there are beavers in the area, and the habitat is good, then another pair might show up in a year or so when the yearling kits are kicked out of their home.

If you want to "relocate" them, you are correct. Conibear 330's or snares seem to work the best.
