Bridges & Beavers

If you find yourself analyzing public land satellite imagery on any available mapping service, zooming in on remote and off-the-trail beaver flowages, scheming the best way to bushwhack into said beaver pond or trying to estimate the time and distance down an old and overgrown logging trail while also trying to persuade someone to come along on a crazy whim with you and your duck hunting gear, and then eventually planning a duck hunt on that beaver pond with little to no scouting, where you’ll probably see little to no ducks, and shoot even fewer, you might be something like me.
