LOL, am I the only person out there that loves finding beaver holes this way when walking in a marsh or meadow?? LOL found this one walking through waste high brown marsh grass in an old almost dried meadow. I walked across the width of it without finding any water at all, but found a nice old beaver hole from years gone by on my way back across it... :mad::p:D

LOL BILL,

AG- I hate them to, they have cause a good amount of power outtages at our family cottage in Balsam lake. They go chew tree and some how they pick ones close to the lines.
 
We have a beaver problem at our range. They keep building a dam right under our bridge that crosses the creek.

We pull it out, they start again the next day.

Tearing down the dam will only make them work harder.
You can:
A. Have someone trap him in trapping season
B. shoot him (best get a permit first depending on your provincial regs)
C. build a gate like in the picture:

This may also require a permit.
 
Beaver Ponds make an excellent place to construct a ground blind to hunt in during the hot sept. days but they sure get me angry when the chew and waste a perfect tree that you have used to a hang a stand.

The beavers are really starting to dam up one part of my bush, real good deer spot too. i know there are atleast 4 beavers their that need to die. I've only seen the buggers once during the day. I'll rip a good chunk of the damn out then sit right before dark and wait for them but i never see them. I go back in the morning and the damn is re-built. WTF lol


too bad dynomite wasnt sold anywhere publicy, that would take care of the dam pretty quick.

When Dad worked for SaskWater, that was the standard practice for disposing of beaver dams. Way more fun than ripping them apart by hand. Can be a little hard on colverts if one isn't carful with charge size...
 
Those destructive rodents are usually nocturnal until the water starts to get cold (preserve their food). Then they work day and night and offer tempting targets.

When trapping wasn't a dirty word-finding beavers meant the opportunity to earn some cash.Now kids sit and play video games instead of running their own traplines-there's plenty of muskrat, beaver and mink around
 
I got my whole body "wetted" by one over-anxious beaver last fall. That furry little critter started spraying so much moisture, so quickly & in such a short period that I got totally covered in her discharge.

It happened last November while Grouse hunting and after a successful double took the birds down to a dammed stream to clean them up. Had my back turned to the water and that's when the rodent snuck up on me and bashed her tail about 5 times sending water all down the back of my neck, coat, & pants. There was a ricketty old bridge over the stream and I actually thought somebody was throwing rocks at me .... until I spotted the culprit!
 
Well, you havtta let the beaver come to you! (both types, less work
on ur part)
I've shot quite a few of them this year. The lil F@%ks chew'd down
a beautiful 100+ ft. tall evergreen on the river bank where I have
my irrigation pump, fell on the main leads comming from the transformer
and pulled everything out of. . . . . everything. A 3 day fix-it job for
the power company.
Of course, insurance doesn't want to cover it. It's been full on
beaver WAR ever since.
Do they think they can move a 7-8 ton tree when it's on the ground. . ?
