I remember back in 1984, I walked up on a huge lodge. There was a blanket beaver out swimming around. I sat still as I watched as the beaver submerged, pin pointing the entrance, as the bottom was all rock with no mud trails. I waded out and placed a Victor 330 in the run. The next day, I came upon a huge 65 Lbs beaver floating on the surface. This 14 year old hauled that beaver several miles home while listening to Huey Lewis' SPORTS album blasting on a boom box in the wicker pack basket. Sphagnum Pond, Black Rock Forest, December, 1984.

What is scarring up the tail? That is a huge beaver. Is that all the beaver 🦫 in that lodge you think? Should they break up the lodge?

@rockandrohl 6 ай бұрын

They could put wire mesh protection around trees so beaver couldn’t cut them down too

@330Maniac 6 ай бұрын

And then where do you think the beavers would go? Right to the next tree that doesn't have it which is the next neighbors property and problem. No matter where they go they do damage on certified lakes. Hence then need to be managed

@chrisholmes6029 6 ай бұрын

Watch Mikes videos of Beavers you tube video. The beaver wnt up behind a college building right to a tree with a fence around it and got the fence of enough to cut te young tree and drag it down to the river.

I don’t know if you smoke but if you do pack it in, that cough of yours needs to be checked out, working in that misty atmosphere can’t help but get yourself checked out buddy. Really enjoyed your videos keep up the good work but look after yourself.

@mikewhitman745 4 ай бұрын

I'm so tired of people saying that if anyone is out of breath. Doesn't matter that he's wearing waders, dragging around a sled half the time, slogging through mud and snow, hammering sticks into the bottom, climbing down and up out of beaver runs. Nooooo, can't be that he's physically exerting himself. Can't be that he has a slight cough or something caught in his throat. It's like you never have done any physical activities in the cold.

We do it here too but that doesn't slow them down at all. Most of them are living in the shoreline and will rebuild the lodge in a day if you blow it up.

We had a huge lodge on our island my entire childhood- I enjoyed watching them for years- especially when I could ice skate there- They are loving- kind to eachother- talkative- hard working- keystone species crucial to wetlands- The female lived a long time and was as big as a dog- I was thrilled to protect them and I still do;) Thank you for teaching me some things** 🦫❤️‍🔥🦅

Such a naive childish person, biased by Disney's fairytales. Beavers are the most destructive pests on the planet, regardles whether you are aware of that obvious fact or not. These damned pests destroyed my whole property, drained my pond by ripping holes in levees an caused death of majority of fishes. Stay naive child.
