Thank you for reopening of the dam. Fantastic water flow, and drainage of the pond eventually. Enjoy your weekend and see you on the next, Jonathan! 🙂👍🇺🇸
Beavers are remarkable creatures.. There were fortunes made from their meat and pelts .. By the early 19th century they were depleted in all of Europe to make hats.Beaver hats were like owning a Rolex .
You needed a backhoe to remove the entire dam Otherwise the beaver will rebuild it> It looked like you reopened a previous breach the refilledd. Did you eliminate the beavers for good
Jonathan that is the best video yet, what an explosion of water. You are lucky that the whole thing didn’t come down with you in it. Please be careful. 👍👍😊🙏
Great to see 👀 👍 you again. I like your videos from the beginning, good to see more breaking up of dams. They are bigger and better. Good job and good luck with your channel.
Just curious here. it doesn't look like this pond is jeopardizing any needed farm land Etc. But I'm sure there is more to the situation. Still sad to see. Those ponds , when left alone, are great fishing.
Wouldn't actually destroying the dam instead of just opening a small spot be more affective? Opening a small space means the Beaver only needs to repair that small space. Get rid of the Beavers then destroy the dam.
good stuff ,that is a BIG pond with lots of water that should make for a great down stream flood footage if you captured it,would be nice if you could widen your break about 6 feet more of the damn
They use grass, reeds logs and sticks for rebar and and mud for concrete. Perfect example of why a narrow deep breach works to your advantage, a repair is easier to remove than opening a whole dam. Suggestions don't let the material you pull out of the pile up at the foot of the dam. White water shows material blocking the flow of water removing it should make the removal of mud easier. If you are going to put the culvert back the discharge end needs to be higher than the inlet, typically the maximum level of water you want in the pond/lake.
No because if the federal government sees water standing they want to declare it wet land and then no body can touch their property or the wet land and then you might have to buy flood insurance for your home if you close to the beavers
If you would take more of the dam area out maybe they wouldn't build it back so fast you only make a small hole in it so you can keep coming back to make more videos for u tube😮
The size hole made does not matter. Beavers can and will re-plug it. And there's a good possibility the farmer uses that pond for irrigation reasons. So a proper balance has to be maintained
Because sadly these beavers don't stop making their dams deeper, and they flood the farm to the point the farms loose money because they can't plant in mud.
So you remove beaver dams without removing the beaver first? WOW what you do that so they keep rebuilding, and you can keep charging them? What a racket.
I don’t charge the land owners I do it for free alls I want is the content for videos 👍 it’s a good trade off I maintain there land and in return no flooding and yeah I just love it 👍
These ponds are man made - the beavers moved in from the river and are flooding the ponds out to much the dam I removed is a relief drainage for the ponds that lead in to the creek and into the fox river if the beavers clog it it causes major flooding and destroys the property around the ponds
Your destruction of a normal ecosystem I find reprehesible. Beavers and beaver ponds,, are responsible for nearly every acre of farm land in the northern US. Fish , bugs, birds, frogs, salamanders, all live in the pond. The pond is there to protect the beaver and its home. Go find a different hobby.
HEY FOLKS AND WELCOME OR WELCOME BACK 👋🏻
Thank you for reopening of the dam. Fantastic water flow, and drainage of the pond eventually. Enjoy your weekend and see you on the next, Jonathan! 🙂👍🇺🇸
This was an amazing video the amount of water crashing down the waterfall was insane 😮great work looking forward to whats up creek 👍
If you see a beaver walking by in a trench coat he's doing reconnaissance 😂
☹️😱
That construction was amazing! It was like having an inside view
Wow 😯 this was great 👍 the land owner must appreciate all you hard work Jonathan 👋🏻😊
Maybe land owner liked water frontage, then some animal hater destroyed the free dam. Hope you checked with environment agency before releasing water?

That was Hugh! Nice work Fox
Another job well done Keep up the good work God bless and stay safe
As much as I like to root for the Beavers, I agree with you that they made a mistake this time. 🌊🌊🌊🌊
TURTLE ALERT @ 7:40!!!!!! LOLOL Looks like a Red Eared slider!?

That was a cool one to watch,..lot of power behind it,..I enjoyed it,..
I liked the different camera angles and in-progress shots.
Great to see 👀 👍 you again. I like your videos from the beginning, good to see more breaking up of dams. They are bigger and better. Good job and good luck with your channel.
And right around 7:00 he pulls out the Official Autographed Post 10 Rake of Power. Game over for the beavers.
Great video and great editing. Kenislovas would be proud.
..and post10
It always amazes me at some of the sizes of the logs they use and how they are capable of moveing some of them massive logs almost trees
Nice job. Chris from England

You know that is a lot of work, and the Beavers will plug it up in two days. You need to use a backhoe or excavator ..
Wouldn't actually destroying the dam instead of just opening a small spot be more affective?
Opening a small space means the Beaver only needs to repair that small space.
Get rid of the Beavers then destroy the dam.
My methods have been proven to work - I make the beavers relocate them selves lol I’m the master of annoyance 😂
Long time no see, great video and good work.
Niiiice.
imagine the mist and steam of that water on a hot summer day
Ive sugested befor about doing a part 2 and maybe going back and takeing more of the dam out so its not so easy for them to plug it back up so quickly
Anybody else be like, “grab this stick, grab that one” and when he finally does, you’re like “yeah, that’s the ticket “.
That was fun. Thanks!
Are you at the Fox River in Illinois? I live near it in the northern part of Illinois.

Great video fella 👍 I wonder if those Beavers put out a contract on you 🐻
C'est incroyable ce que construisent ces animaux pour survivre. La nature est incroyable.
Was that a warranty job this time ?
Anyone else see the turtle at the 7:40 mark I did.
Awesome!!
Very Good Video! can you pls u updated us with this big Pond
Awesomeness x2.
Beavers gotta PHD in engineering
Outstanding
Did you see that big turtle cartwheel through @7:40? LOL
Tannerite removes these dams pretty good.
I watch you on a large television and I can't deal with the low resolution
No because if the federal government sees water standing they want to declare it wet land and then no body can touch their property or the wet land and then you might have to buy flood insurance for your home if you close to the beavers
Easier to take it apart from the pond side with a 4 prong rake if it not to deep.
WOW, it's too dangerous to remove all the wood and soggy logs and twigs from the beaver dam!
The other beaver dam breakers clear the sides and the water pressure knocks down the middle
Love it
Feels like jenga
I bet the beavers are laughing at you thinking it takes you longer to remove it than it takes them to build it.
How about opening the colvert
so where is the "ocean" part of the video? I dont see a ocean anywhere.
Good thing you let the beavers stay in the area, unless they build these you wouldn’t have videos for us to watch
Beavers
That's a crazy amount of water.
Anyone else see the turtle @7:40?
😊😊
tHE bEAVERS WIL REBUILD OVER NIGHT.
leave em alone, its just swamp land
Isn't dynamite faster? I mean it worked in cartoons. LOL
Lol 😂
@@foxriverbushcraft2345 I came here to suggest Tannerite
What school did the beavers attend to get their engineering skills?
Seabees!
No, Oregon State. Home of Benny, the Beaver.
Like Jesus said father forgive them they know not what they do 😢
was any one else praying for him to lose his footings?
Leave the beavers alone
how low dose the farmer want this pond
Sooo cool . Why do my comments keep getting deleted
Maybe RUclips
You dint get the pipe open
aren't beaver extremely good for the environment ?
The land is better off with the beavers and water.
If you would take more of the dam area out maybe they wouldn't build it back so fast you only make a small hole in it so you can keep coming back to make more videos for u tube😮

@@krispy3681😂 the expert has spoken
Why not allow the Beavers to have a little lake? Always messing with Nature is why we have the environmental problems we do.
Because sadly these beavers don't stop making their dams deeper, and they flood the farm to the point the farms loose money because they can't plant in mud.

He does it for free.
Stop harassing beavers.
Do you realize that pond is habitat for hundreds different species taking there home away you make me sad 😢
These ponds are man made - the beavers moved in from the river and are flooding the ponds out to much the dam I removed is a relief drainage for the ponds that lead in to the creek and into the fox river if the beavers clog it it causes major flooding and destroys the property around the ponds
Beaver are stimulated to dam by the sound of running water, putting in the right kind of drainage would solve the issue.

They will have it built back before you can get to your truck.
