@ghostmantagshome-er6pb No, not quite. Barberchair is when a tree trunk splits vertically while it is being cut down. The forward momentum of the falling tree is too much for the internal fiber strength of the trunk and it “shears” from bottom to top. When it splits vertically like that one of two things can happen. 1) The bottom of the barber chairing trunk will kick back. Seriously injuring or even killing the cutter. 2) A heavy trunk falling “flat” from a height When the trunk “halves” do separate, the point of separation may be WAY off the ground. Instead of a gradual tipping over on a hinge lever, the violent snapping of tree high off the ground leaves you with a huge weighty trunk that’s falling “flat” out of the sky. Where will it land? You have to make your best guess fast and run. The beaver just chewed through on an angle that caused the tree to slide right off onto its own skull. A cut like that is called "spearing" and I would recommend not being under the "spear"
@@johnbeton4058 I wouldn’t go around spreading rumors like that if I were you. There’s a pending investigation and from what I’ve heard, the beaver was a churchgoing family man with a heart of gold.
Man, i would 100% keep that tree, keep the shavings, take the beaver, and take plenty of pictures. And have a very capable taxidermist do a scene mount of what you've found here. What a cool conversation piece.
*I worked with a guy for fourteen years who had felled hundreds of small trees. He got killed by a relatively small ten inch diameter tree that hooked another one coming down and the bottom lifted off the ground, swung 180 degrees and caught him under the chin. Nice guy. Three kids. Always wore all the safety gear.*

Yes I have found them dead from this in N.Y. it's usually a pretty to a very large dia tree & a younger beaver,not an old wise 1! Double trunked regrowth trees gets them too by squeezing there heads between as the tree starts to fall. Last 1 I found was in Holley N.Y. in a dense swampy hard wood stand where I was cutting wood in the summer for the owners. It was a 2 foot dia rock sugar maple in a thick stand ,so it would not lean & fall once chewed close enough to do so. So the beaver keeps chewing from instinct. Finally the pencil point splits off the lower pencil point & smeared his skull down the side of it & tucked him into the ground. I could tell the tree was chewed to about 4 inch dia before it separated ,it never did fall down, it canopy just leaned against other large tree keeping mostly up right,I pulled it down with the tractor. What do they do with a 2 foot dia tree if they do get it down? Well I've found those too. They chew off every limb ,take any small enough to move ,eat all the bark off it & yes even chew through it at 2 foot dia in multiple places & buck it up that way even though they cant move, " that is?" Until the swamp floods on a wet enough year or their damming raise the water lever until it will float. Then they will move it at up to 1000 lb chunks say up to 6 feet or even more long,cause it weighs nothing when it floats & it takes little push to move through the water much like a boat & trolling motor. I've found these big pencil blocks while fishing local streams ,miles from any pencil stump to match! Other people have even found these huge pencil blocks in lake Ontario cause most local streams mouth into that lake & floods will move them beyond where the beaver wanted & he cant move it back up stream against the current.
They are going to chew that tree if it kills them. My short trapping days are long behind me and you sure have spent some long days out in your area. Thanks for sharing your findings!
Thanks & sure,"anytime!" I was old school, so never had smart phone camera back in the day,then few people had a cell phone(size of a lunch box) but I do these days though now I dont get out there much with my spine injuries,but if I do I will surely photo some of these amazing & incredible things I've had to keep to myself.
I have never found a dead beaver killed by a tree. I used to hunt the Iroquois National Wildlife refuge by canoeing the Oak Orchard creek and found a few 2 - 3 foot diameter soft maples that they either gave up on or the tree leaned against another tree and never made it to the ground. All that effort for nothing.
@marktheo1563 I live only a few miles from the western side of the refuge. Good hunting. My hunting buddy and I rescued a hunter who had swamped his homemade raft years back on the creek. Guy was lucky he didn't die.
I've actually seen this before. I hiked a creek area on a Saturday, a Beaver was working a Big Ash Tree. I came back through the following Saturday and the tree fell off the stump right onto the Beaver.
Wow I'm stumped something like this could happen! Im glad y'all were there to get to the root of the problem. Hopefully it doesn't branch out to other beavers!
No it's not very common actually. There is barely any proof of it. Besides a couple pictures and my video is the first one that i've ever seen. I know a lot of trappers and it's the same thing talking to them all. I've caught thousands of beaver and walked hundreds of miles through the woods and never ran across it before. I've only talked to one guy that has claimed to found it before as well
@@330Maniac Oh? I thought I heard about this before in some documentary, can't remember which one. But it said this happened more often than you would think. Then again, I would probably trust the word of people like yourself that are actually out there often more than the people that write a documentary spending most of their time at the desk.
@rafox66 I've honestly walked more beaver woods and areas than I can admit and never seen it before. Also had a lot of trappers message me and say they never seen anything like it before and never witnessed it themselves
Unsafe/Dangerous trees in the woods are called widow makers. I know a guys who’s father looked at a dead tree, said looks like a widow maker, pushed it and died. Be very careful clearing trees
Fun fact Birch bark is a great fire starting tinder...the oils in the bark are really flammable! At least that paddle died quickly! Never seen one die at their own tree drop before! Crazy
I used to go into woods near where grew up in Berkshire England to collect birch bark from fallen birch trees they were generally best after being down for a few months and on a smooth barked tree, they would burn slowly to a good temperature
I've been trapping off and on with my dad for 38 years and I've never seen or herd of that happening. I know we're trying to get rid of them especially when there a nuisance but that's a crappy way to go.
He died doing what he loved. That beaver used say in high school “I’ll eat wood til it kills me. “. He got a few good years in. We’ll always remember him, he built this house. Never could pass a good tree without a munch though. Died with wood on his teeth still
This happened in Massachusetts a while back - but the tree landed upright on his tail. Someone came along and found it, and they ended up rehabbing it in a wildlife hospital. I believe it was was eventually released back into the wild.
Cool video never seen it before, but heard stories from the elders that seen it before. And heard stories of people getting killed walking through beaver dams at night from the sticks poking out from the beavers cutting them. That’s why they always say you walk around in the bush away from where the beavers live at night.
Had the same issue, grew some carolina reapers, made a super potent sauce and brushed a bunch around the bottom of the tree about 2 feet high, not a single bite, after they had a few
Once came across a beaver with his tail pinned by a tree. We had to chainsaw the tree to get it off. He walked slowly back to the water and drank for a long time before swimming away.
