yeah that hole is usually covered completely with water ... thought maybe wiring off to something like that dead timber ... stabilizing etc. would still be an issue
a challenge! ;D

well, if its under water, one way would be to wire like a sullivan stabilizer to like a cinder block and do a little fencing, snare would be easier with just using support wire on brick, and anchoring to log. or you could import some mud to bed foothold underwater and some for a castor mound, "on the rock under the log" use a hammer drill to mount a concrete anchor in the rock for the bank side of a drowner. what an imagination, lol ;D

I use a Dewalt 18 volt cordless hammer drill and use tapcon screws to attach drowner wire.
Ozarkmountainman got it nailed.

i ran in too this once and what i did was take a #4 coil spring trap and put a cable to a cinder block and then took a 25 ft rope and fasten one end to block and the other end to a milk jug ..when i caught the beaver i just looked for the jug and took another rope with a tripple hook on it and snaged my milk jug and dragged it back to the bank to me...one time i had to use my canoe..

Ive got areas like that around here. The rocks all have splits in them. I will take a railrd spike and drive them down into the cracks This is were i will anchor the drowner cable. Then fill a sand bag full of rock and sink it. Now the problems i have run into with this is the rock sack hangs up on bottom rock debrie and ive had the trap attached to beaver hang up on rocks at the bottom. I hate diving down and getting them loose.

had that sorta place in Ark..
Where the beaver is sittin, aint that sandy there? If so take a 5 gallon bucket lid, put your drowner through the middle of it and use a long 3/8's or larger stake and attach cable to it. The rod holds it there. Then dig down and bury the lid about a foot in the sand if ya can. If ya can't lay it flat and pile rocks on it to hold it as the top of your drowner. Use blocks, rocks, or what ever on the lower end. Extra work but it does work well. Metal lids are best but plastic will work too.
I would say DH's idea is the best though. The battery and tapcons is good too.
That large cave lookin hole, how far back does that go? I love lookin and explorin them caves, specially those under water most of the time. Never know what ya will find in them.
