Beaver threats

[Ketchn]

Lol...In the time it took one guy to skin,flesh, and pin a beaver hide, the other guy could skin,flesh,and stretch 10-15 muskrats. We only skinned a few before we decided to sell them in the round. There is lots and lots of them up here,the county has a part time trapper hired,as does the water shed district.Every fall/early winter the water shed hires track backhoes to remove dams out of water ways.....Every spring/summer new dams take there place.Theres no truer statement the "busy like a beaver"

bet the taxidermist charged a pretty penny on them 2 , know it would be very expensive to ask me to skin 2 of them ....

They will certainly clean an area out of trees. Watched a short documentary on beavers. They dam up a stream, cut down and comsume the trees, eventually the stream bed fills in with sediment, the creek re routes, the original dammed up area turns into a medow. Pretty interesting

Beavers provided some of the best fishing I’ve ever experienced. In 1974 and 1979 at Redstone Arsenal and from 1996-2004 when I had a place in West TN. When you went to those uncountable beaver ponds we went catching…..not fishing. At Redstone the ponds would get fish washed in when the TN River got up and in West TN when the Hatchie River did the same…..the Hatchie River Bottoms. Crappie…..bluegill…..bass…..just off the charts good.

I hear the DNR will put a $75 bounty on beaver this fall.

If true, I might have to oil up the 330s

Here in Ga. if you can find a floating dock that beavers have built a home under you don't tell anyone not even your wife. Best dock shooting in the world. Scott

my 3 favorite monster crappie public docks have beavers just brushing them all the time .
you will lose a good bit of tackle under them .....and ketch some giants as well
the potential lake record last early spring that was 2 ounces over the existing lake record came from one of them

Beaver made brush piles.

Maybe trained brush pile building beavers to compliment the fish finding turtles

beavers from what I hear have a nasty temper , probably not something in the trainable department is my thoughts ......
some other critters are that way as well , just saying .....
