Need a few more tree huggers sticking up for the beavers. They are a menace. The ones saying leave them alone are the first ones yelling when their property gets flooded
now is the best time to take them out , they don't have a chance to rebuild before it freezes over , less flooding come spring time , Cheers from Heres
I am looking at 100 acres with a small cabin in the adirondacks (NY). there is a stream thru the property and evidently there is a beaver pond (4-8 acres). question: do I need to get rid of the beavers? or can i just leave them? could there be bass in the pond? and could i sustain bass in there? (they said it 6 ft at its deepest. )
i say leave them and if need be trap them to control them...yes could be bass in there and yes you could add some fish to it. if you get rid of them te pond will eventually disappear as the beavers maintain the dams.beaver meat is actually good if you know how to prepare it.
They will find another Creek and damn it up also. Then when the water gets back up to a certain point they will build a dome in the center of the pond and access it from underwater. This keeps Predators out. In a rural suburban setting these ponds and backed up Creeks cause all kinds of problems for homeowners floods leaky basements, sometimes the water goes septic that is a considerable health hazard, and they are a breeding ground for mosquitoes. This guy breached the damn in the winter time and drain the water so the wolves will have access to the Beavers smart move, otherwise you have to give them a case of lead poisoning
@@feonor26 they'll survive the winter just fine, that was just a dam, not the lodge where they actually stay, dams are built to hold water deep enough so they can build there lodge which they enter below the water's surface to make it more difficult for predators to get in, and they can rebuild a dam that size in a couple days
@@Xs_UnKnOwN Sorry Alex, but in this case I am fully aware of what would happen to my excavator in conditions like as those shown here. I have experienced freezing rain weather conditions where my excavator was parked on bare ground after being shut down for the day, nobody around at all, and considerably less slope than this. Then overnight ice formed on the whole machine and under the tracks then gradually , slowly, the machine started to slide towards the edge of the parking area and into a roadside ditch. That ditch is what saved the excavator from sliding right out onto a major roadway. The excavator in this instance, did not tip, it merely slid away on it's own. I can assure you that these steel tracks are NOT your 'friend' in and on, icy conditions like this.
I wish I could upload a picture, I have some ones you would love lol. Never operated in ice, but mud and swamps I can vouch for can be sketchy. I was talking about the actual tipping point of the machine, wasn't attacking your point of view at all. Cheers
@@Xs_UnKnOwN A couple of points here for future readers of our comment;...when my excavator slipped into the ditch, it was working on that site,..it was merely stored there \and on dry ground when they weather 'took over'. Secondly, I did not mean that the operator here in this video was about to roll or tip because of the angle, per se, I was referring to the snow covered grassy ( slippery ) slope he was working on. ( Although I can see where my comment could be taken as meaning that,..) Alex, I understand your comment, and herein lies the problem when we chat via 'RU-vid commenting', isn't it? we can't portray our meanings easily,...at least I can't. Hahaha! And you are correct,..I gotcha, .. Cheers Brother!
Looks like thats had to be done a time or two judging by all the logs laying behind the excavator I believe if I had to do that ofter I would make myself a flat pad to sit on and put a stop to that sliding crap.
Not necessarily. The Beavers house most likely was not in that pond. Quite often beavers have a series of dams that they use to make it easy to travel.
If you set all of the beavers building on fire before you left...you would not be returning so soon to dig it out again. They have all the material to rebuild with & it's a down hill pull. They were rebuilding that dam that very night. Next time burn their old building material before you leave.
Dang I feel a little sorry for the beavers since its winter and their home is being destroyed. Couldnt the people just wait till the snow is gone. The Beavers are probably like whats going on, while hugging each other trying to keep warm during winter.
Ima go out on a limb and say, judging by the pile behind and the apparent skill, that the owner if the land is also the owner of the excavator and this is an ongoing struggle between man and beast...
