    Beavers are good dam builders. They have a dam good work ethic., good dam building knowledge, know when and where to put their dam knowledge to work. I think they deserve a dam medal for their dam ingenuity!

    My opinion is if you don't like the music just mute it. At least we don't have to hear the machine noises! It is a lot of work to get the water flowing where is should be. You are doing a good job of messing their damns up. How many damns were there on the property? Hopefully you have trapped them and their relatives don't come looking for them. LOL

  • @Bill1764
    @Bill1764 4 года назад +7

    The best way to control beavers is to dig a channel through the dam. Then place a perforated metal culvert in the channel extending maybe 20 feet in front and behind the dam. The beavers cannot hear the running water and will not try to plug up the culvert !! Try it, it works great !!

    Farmers find beavers pesky, but they stop sediment being washed away thus slowly creating more land, or shall I say swamp.. just nobody has the spare time to wait till this happens.
    I've seen one farmers dig into these dams and lay pipes so the water still flows and Beavers are kept unaware of the breech.

    • @alan30189
      @alan30189 4 года назад

      Vito Scaletta - You sir are fucked in the head. Bad for the environment? 🙄🤦‍♂️Beavers are actually good for the environment. All the beaver dams that have been destroyed over the last 200+ years has resulted in massive flash floods down river, wiping out more farmland than you can imagine. Now, if you own a farm and they’re flooding tillable area, it’s a problem. But if a farmer has a lot of tillable acreage, and wipes out a lot of beaver dams upstream, the acreage downstream could get flooded and destroyed. Or someone else’s farmland downstream could be destroyed as a result. The little lakes that beavers build, act as a huge sponge to absorb rainwater. They also create environment for fish and other wildlife.
      Oh, and talk about something that destroys an ecosystem, that would be your cat, if you let it roam outside. Keep your damn cat indoors where it belongs. Cats kill millions of songbirds each year, mostly for sport, helping some 33 species of songbirds to go extinct. Look it up.

  • @paulg9004
    @paulg9004 4 года назад +13

    For future reference start with clearing debris from your work area so you can get a full swing without hitting anything if possible. Second work on the lower end of the dam and pull as many sticks out as you can and work your way upstream. The water pressure will push a lot of the silt out of the way and you will be able to see where you're working.
