An old mountain man told me that you know if an area can support you if there is a beaver dam there. It brings all the wildlife and supports everything necessary to make it so you can survive. Demolishing a beaver dam basically equates to slitting your own throat.
Watching this video I realized the beavers begin the dam when the water level is much much lower and then have to keep adding to the top as the water level behind the dam rises.
What I have seen beavers will not built back in the same place when you use an excavator to clean it all out. They may move up or down the creek to rebuild but not in the same location as the last one
@@michaelkerrministriesofavi7378 I would assume that family might not re-build but a new family wouldn't know that happened and might build a dam. Just a thought
What is amazing is that animals can build something like this. While some lazy humans all over over the world just sit on their butts, expecting the government to do everything for them.
This is what the elites do build a dam and keep everything for themselves the people represent the digger this is what we need to d o remove the dam and wake the #u%k up
What do you think you are saving? No water fowl, No fish No beaver no deer No crayfish, No minnow, No poplar trees. Just good dry area for fire and logging. Ah man got her clean
During the end of a soaking thunderstorm several years ago I encountered a large sable-colored beaver stripping a branch it was intending to move. The branch was about ten feet long and perhaps an average of three inches thick. I really didn't want to disturb it so I just watched until the beaver began moving the branch from the stream's bank up the 25° incline. Once the beaver had moved from my sight I went up the hill to the road next to the bridge where the beaver should have been. I saw some rustling in the undergrowth and saw too the end of the branch as it slipped from sight. I know the network of creeks, large and small, in the area and I couldn't figure out where the beaver was headed with its prize. Still mystifies me to this day.
Lucky when you can access that spot by caterpillar or traktor... Is there a peakseason when beaver dams have to be taken down? This looks like late summer to me.
Removing a beaver dam, and leaving the materials around, is like breaking a squatters home and leaving the material around. Both the beacer and squatter will rebuild their homes.
@@elarivoolaid6531 I have often wondered why they just don’t let most of the sticks and mud wash down stream with the flow of water. Just giving them easy pickings for material to rebuild.
@@davidglaum2538 Bro you obviously don't know much about beavers, they always use fresh cuttings, well, at least not the ones from the pile. If you washed everything down the stream it would get caught up in natural obstructions (shallowings, cane, fallen trees) and block the water flow.
What stinks about that then beavers are going to have all that wood sticks branches sitting right there to do it all over again and it won't take them long to rebuild that damn and them beavers can really make a mess
Beaver dams clean the creeks water as a natural filter. Create a lake for fish, birds, turtles, frogs, and other animals. Beaver dams prevent flooding by holding back surging rivers during heavy rains. The benefits go on and on.
True, accept the same does not work as any kind of filter, but the benefit is temporary. Eventually they eat all the trees and are forced to move on. The dam will erode naturally and eventually there will be a stream there again and new beavers will do it all over again.
