Show Galloway- C 1086 A Yes sir, not that I recollect of, they had no trouble with the ice, not at that time, anyway. Q By the way, do beavers select as a site for their dams and for making their caches the channel of a river? A The beavers select, as I understand them, for putting in a cache for their winter food, any deep water; I wouldn't necessarily say that it is the channel of the river, but most usually where you find the channel of the river you find the deep water. Q Is it not your experience as a beaver trapper that they do not place their cache in the channel of a river, they get it in deep water, as deep water as they can locate off away from the channel? A I don't profess to be much of a beaver trapper; for that reason I wouldn't say I know the nature of the beaver very well. Q You haven't trapped enough beaver to know, with reference to that fact? A I have trapped enough beaver to know wherever you find the home and cache of beaver you find it in deep water. Q That deep water where you have found that cache has been away from the channel of the stream, hasn't it? A I naturally assume the deep water is where the main channel of the stream is, any place on that river. Q Then your observation has been that beaver make their cache in the channel of a stream; id that correct? 3058 |
