Have you relocated any beaver from Oak Creek, west and south of campus? As a work study student under Prof. Lee Kuhn in the late ’60s, I was tasked with removing some nuisance beaver from the stream near some experimental fruit trees that Ag. folks were trying to grow west of what is now the equine center.. Managed to catch and move a few, but either they found their way back or the site was re-colonized (more likely) within a year. I had job security until graduating in ’70. Thinking back, exclusion would probably have been more effective, but I thoroughly enjoyed the time spent. Look forward to hearing/reading the results of your monitoring work on the beaver as well as analysis of coho response. Best regards.
Mike
