Incident #1001500
Gates, Linn Cty, Oregon
Jul 1994
Account
Bill Pennick was fishing at a large beaver pond near Pennick Creek, about 5 miles East of Gates, when he found a set of tracks in mud on the bank. They came down off a slope and went 15 to 20 feet into the water, where it appeared the animal had stopped, then turned and came back towards shore. He could not follow them because of thick brush Next day he and his brother in law made a cast. A dead, half-eaten beaver was found in the brush, appeared picked apart by something to get tastiest entrails..
