RE: New Hope Creek Impoundment

["Gregory Georges" <ggeorges@mindspring.com>]

Last time I went there (about three weeks ago), I found a whole pile of dead
beavers--babies included. There must have been about 7 of them rotting in a
pile. Anyone know why? Is this an acceptable thing in the Impoundment area?
Who might have done it and for what reason?
