A trip to my woods!

Having not seen it, but from your description, a cabin on the entry point would be perfect, and a small bridge built with some pressure treated lumber to get a vehicle across is really do-able, and not terribly expensive.
Again, you have a nice property to get away to

MYMonkey,

Thats a good looking acreage, I still have a place to hunt in Hughes County and the small creek that runs thru it is called Fish Creek and the large creek is called Greasy Creek. Good luck with your endeavor.

Would the picture of the highway be 270 between Holdenville and Wewoka? I grew up in Sasakwa and all your pictures bring back memories! Congrats on a very nice piece of property.

No porcupines in hughes county. the first looks like a beaver and the second looks like some type of tree disease/fungus or something.

Zactly.

Thanks Denis! Thanks again all for the replys. I was hoping to get input from the more experienced members here on how to approach this project. I have never been hunting. Aside from being a kid with a .22 and shooting everything that moves. Bit nervous at the idea of hunting but figure I need to do it if just to learn how. Just in case eh?

I sure will! I have watched the thread on images from game cameras and often wished I had my own. Maybe something will pop in.

No. It is hwy 9 actually. Just East of Dustin, OK! The land is just West of Dustin and North of hwy 9. Not to bad of a trip actually.

I thought about a bridge but had no idea I could do one that a vehicle could make use of. Hmm... Gets me to thinking. Thanks again all.

Correction! After looking at the pic of the Highway. That's I40. DOH! Sorry. Thought I put up a shot of Hwy 9.

Ok folks! A beaver is destroying my creek. Just one month ago there were trees here. Some good sized ones. They have started to block off the creek flow on one end as well. Not good!

Any idea how to go about catching this thing? Will a beaver go into a box trap? Or, whatever they call the traps they have to walk into? Are they nocturnal? I looked at the big spring traps and they spook the tar out of me.

Anyone want to help eradicate these beavers?

They are pretty nocturnal, you can tear up their dam and sit close by and right at dusk usually catch them coming in to fix it and lay waste to them with firearm of choice.
