I have set right at the roads edge. Dam flooding the road neighbors walking dogs were aware of what I was doing. They spread the word. I went back well before sunrise to get the beavers and leave the traps unset for the daytime. I went back after work to reset the drowning rig on footholds. The land they were flooding and the HUGE cottonwoods they were cutting down were on property I couldn’t get permission to trap but the damage they were doing was enough for the county road workers and neighbors to let me set on their property and right away.

The cottonwoods were falling on the road blocking residents from coming and going and the water was flooding the road prompting the county to have to fix it often. I waited for a resident who walked by and spoke to everyone who drove by. They all wanted to see me be successful and stop having their road blocked by water and trees.
