[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1400808, member: 18945"] Someone told me (or I read it somewhere) that they are drawn to the sound of trickling water..to dam it up if they hear it. I don't have enough sticks or small green saplings left on my place for them to build the kind of dam in Jo's picture. DB, part of that 'balance' is fish, my dogs, and wood ducks. Gators keep all 3 thinned out. In 2004, there was a big beaver lodge and colony out on the end of a peninsula on the main pond, and an extensive burrow network on the opposite side of the pond that I dropped the front tires of my back hoe off into. There was also a 7' gator in the pond that my father could entice up on the bank with a piece of chicken on a long cane pole. Gator may not have been afraid of the beaver, but he sure wasn't keeping their numbers down much. I had a 5' one in the pond for awhile, that had a habit of waiting till I was feeding my catfish, and he would sidle up and grab one. I used to like to bass fish down there off my little dock at night with a topwater bait. After losing about the 3rd hula popper to that rascal he became 'no longer a sentient life form'. [/QUOTE]
