Beavers hard at work! Amazing what kind of destruction these buggers can do at such a fast pace. GONE!

Actually destructive would just be perspective. Beaver are technically one of the few species that create habitat for so many others.

Have witnessed the flooding and tree damage of course in every state I've lived in, however again, matter of perspective, to the woodlot
owner or highway department yup destructive species, to many others just an amazing species of wildlife in North America.

So true, but in areas that have very little elevation change, little drought condition, and little or limited vegetative kill " Beaver are technically one of the few species that destroy habitat for so many others".

In this case it would be destruction, loss of revenue from hay fields, lost the ability to lease portions of the land for others to hay, timber value, through ways to access other parts of the property etc.. Different mind set when It's directly effecting the wallet. The only beneficial facts about beavers I'm aware of is they make a fine bait ;-)

Just having some fun with the thread fellas. I've removed beaver from farms and property when we lived in Michigan for a number of folks let alone winter trapping, know the flooding fields, the damage etc they can do.

Technically though their behavior and biology is driven by their evolution in the ecology they belong to, in our absence the benefit to other species by them building wetlands benefits other species when they eat out an area and leave it barren, mugh the way fire regimes and other natural processes sculpt land making things better for some and not for others.

No matter the viewpoint, love the smell of castor in the morning!

Is it weird that beaver castor is my absolute favorite smell? Or was that peach cobbler?

Luckily, my job lets me keep a big jar of Backbreaker in my truck. whistle

I used to tell locals in MI that we met that I loved castor so much my better half could use it for perfume! great reactions came from that statement.

Nothing like a beaver swamp in the north woods! I see some here of course but mostly up north where the timber is right and more water. The whole state has them but the MI feel is best achieved up near Mora other parts there abouts....

I think the question here about cages verses Conibears has a lot to do with who is carrying the equipment back into the ponds.

If it's me that's doing the carrying, I find a couple of snares to be just the right weight.

Paul, maybe you were referring to a different thread. No traps were previously mentioned.

I love the fact that everyone was so cordial when dealing with a moron. I will try my best to do the same!

P.S. I just located the topic it should have been under, and guess what? No post. Will I do better next time? Keep tuned to this channel.

NOPE! I feel the same way, castor has a unique pleasant odor to it, but my wife will strongly disagree.
