Hahaha!!! Skin that one bean!!! On the beavers…..believe it or not, they are VERY spooky, and wary of disturbance. I learned a LONG time ago, if you set a conni in a hut or bank den, you usually catch one beaver out of it. I can't tell you for sure. But I often thought they just left the area. But, I've had old timers tell me their food cashe in their dens is enough to last them for months. Combine that with the fact that they are Coprophagic (eat their own poop) they can stay in a den for weeks. So, that may be the case. Even if you are not setting den sites, they still get spooky. Pull out for a couple of weeks, and go back when the sign says they are active again.
