Index of Subjects Hi again Billy, or anyone else, As an afterthought on a recent reply from me about this, could an experienced woodsman tell the approximate size of the beast from the spacing of its gnaw marks? Somebody must have looked into this in the past. One of the diagonally cut alder stems had 8 fairly parallel gnaw marks. These were not fully regular (each was not the exact same width), but they were spaced on average 3.75 millimeters apart (a bit over 1/8 inch, more like 5/64" if you prefer inches). Would that be a little beaver or a big sucker? Steve, Halifax Quoting bdigout@seaside.ns.ca: > Earlier, I sent a reply indicating beaver...
