Aspen Outfitting Co.

The side-by-side shotgun has long been regarded by serious upland bird hunters and small game hunters as the classic field shotgun. Double-barrel shotguns are not only handsome and elegant, but the simplicity of a double gun makes it very safe and reliable in the field. In fact, many shooters who formerly shot over/under shotguns have realized the superiority of the side-by-side design. Together with shotgun maker Ignacio Ugartechea of Eibar, Spain, Mr. Hollinger has created a functional, elegant side-by-side Spanish shotgun based on the famous Anson & Deeley boxlock design. Named the AOC/SG (Aspen Outfitting Company Small Game shotgun), the lovely Spanish game gun comes in 12 gauge, 16 gauge, 20 gauge, 28 gauge, and .410 bore side-by-side configurations. Exclusively imported by Aspen Outfitting Company, AOC/SG boxlock game guns and Model AOC sidelock game guns are for the shooter seeking the best gun.  The Aspen Outfitting Company sidelock shotguns are the highest quality guns made by Ugartechea. The action blocks are forged from high-tensile Spanish steel and are machined to exacting specifications. The fine workmanship of these side-by-side shotguns is evident in the fit and finish of metal and wood, and engraving patterns. The locks are built on the Holland & Holland bar action design, which includes double intercepting sears for positive safety.

Beaver Dams

The dams are created both as a protection against predators, e.g., coyotes, wolves and bears, and to provide easy access to food during winter. It is both the sound of water in motion and the current that stimulates the beavers to build. If, for example, a pipe is placed under the dam to drain it the beavers may stuff it with a tree trunk unless the pipe inlet is protected with a large cage-like filter. They may repair any damage to the dam and build it higher as long as the sound continues. However, in times of high water, they often allow spillways in the dam to flow freely. Beavers have even attempted to build dams in response to recordings of water flowing even in the absence of water.

Destroying a beaver dam without removing the beavers takes a lot of effort, especially if the dam is downstream of an active lodge. Beavers can rebuild such primary dams overnight, but may not defend secondary dams as vigorously.

Recent studies involving beaver habitual activities have indicated that beavers may respond to an array of stimuli, not just the sound of running water. In two experiments Wilson (1971) and Richard (1967, 1980) demonstrate that although beavers will pile material close to a loudspeaker emitting sounds of water running, they only do so after a considerable period of time. Additionally the beavers, when faced with a pipe allowing water to pass through their dam, eventually stopped the flow of water by plugging the pipe with mud and sticks. The beavers were observed to do this even when the pipe extended several meters upstream and near the bottom of the stream and thus produced no sound of running water.

Beaver dams can be disruptive; the flooding can cause extensive property damage, and when the flooding occurs next to a railroad roadbed, it can cause derailments by washing-out under the tracks, or when a beaver dam bursts and the resulting flash flood overwhelms a culvert. This disruption is not limited to human geography; beavers can destroy nesting habitat for endangered species, and often destroy mature trees for which they have no use.

Yet dam building activity restores wetlands, the land's most beneficial ecosystem. Such wetland benefits include flood control downstream, biodiversity (by providing habitat for many rare as well as common species), and water cleansing, both by the breakdown of toxins such as pesticides and the retention of silt by beaver dams. The latter also reduces erosion as well as decreasing turbidity that is the limiting factor for aquatic life.
