  • @gscott5778
    @gscott5778 5 месяцев назад

    Location location location. That's the important fact regarding beaver dams. In some places their dams have the potential to flood properties and roads or if they collapse like this one, the resulting flood damage can be very extensive. For that reason I am hesitant to take sides in the argument for or against permitting beaver dams on private or public property. Each case is a stand alone matter and ultimately on private land it comes down to responsible land management and the landowners desires for land use. And wanton killing./trapping of beavers is also poor behavior and certainly covered by state and/or federal laws. For that reason anyone looking to purchase land where beavers are commonly found, would be foolish not to check into laws and conversations regulations. In this case it sounds like no permanent damage was done. The collapse or potential collapse of beaver dams there and elsewhere should be looked at like forest management practices regarding fires and planned burns to control and protect from wild forest fires.

    • @ricksmith578
      @ricksmith578 6 месяцев назад

      You bet, took them 5 years to get the dam built up to its original hight of 9 ft. Only problem is now the dam is vulnerable to a heavy rain collapse again. It seams to occur evert 7 years or so, we did think about putting a culvert on top to limit it but decided to let mother nature decide. See some of my update videos. Lots of wildlife using the pond and dam.

      Sorry for the late response. Had to place rocks in the water hole this spring. We had a bumper crop of baby Quail chicks this year. The rocks are there to prevent accidental drowning of chicks. I decided to leave them there year round also keeps the Javelina from taking baths.

    • @ricksmith578

      The rocks are there to protect the Quail chicks now due this spring. The rocks also are there to discourage the Javelina from getting in the water hole.
