But like Paul said It's what the market will bare. We don't work for any million dollar timber companies. These are mostly townships and private land owners. Bigger money just Isn't there.

Beav when you consider that 10 acres of flooded timber worth ? 50 cord/ acre X 100$ cord with a replacement of 50 years down the line for the trees to regrow.

Sit at home and just collect your pension you are ahead with the prices you charge. Do you have insurance that cost 1000$ a year to cover off. What if one of those jobs goes south and say a beaver control structure breaks and floods out several roads down stream , that you are libel for.

Doesn't take 50 years to grow a tree down here, they get cut about every 15 years. All are shredded to make chip board and plywood so it doesn't matter the size of them, rest head to the paper mill so you yankee's will have something to wipe your rear end with, haha.

I'm going to hit 80 In May I'm pretty particular In what jobs I take and how many.
The Parks department wanted me to go In and do a beaver job the other day. I said there's 3' of snow on the ground and everything Is Iced over. So I told them the beaver will still be there In April. And that's how I left It.

From pictures I've seen from the south the little ones just wear a t-shirt and nothing else. Maybe no need for paper?

It also helps with butt itch. During the summer, we have plenty of leaves. Winter time, pines needles work if your in a hurry. Sarge


Getting old is a fatal mistake

Always looking for reloading componets

I know a beaver or two, because I've seen a beaver or two

Very few in my area would pay to get beaver removed . Everyone seems to have a backhoe and a shotgun . Most of the beaver around here are in small streams living in bank dens , and you can drive a tractor right up to the them . If they call the warden they are told to just shoot them . I get to trap the ones that manage to get out of reach .
