The snow is just melting off the backroads and the nuisance calls have started already.Season ended yesterday and the calls started today,lol.
Got called out to 4 locations on the one road for starters.
I just took 9 beaver out a week ago during the fur season in this area..I guess they want any that are left removed.

Frost heaved the culvert up at one spot and the run off got under it and is flipping it.

Hard to imagine snow just now melting. Approaching 90 degree Fahrenheit these days here! Beavers will be swimming topless here in about a month and a half.

It was 70f for a few days,but we had about 10 feet of snowfall this winter,so even when its warm it takes a long time for it to all go.
There will still be pockets of snow in low shaded areas in the bush in June.

Marathon,it started off as a frost heave,that allowed the water to get under the pipe when the frost went out.I have seen that often.The water will eventually flip the pipe once it starts to go if there is enough pressure.Or it will wash both sides of the pipe.

ny,the beavers are watching the Stanley cup playoffs.

Ratbrain--My wife and I drove by that house last week as we were out and about. That is not Photshopped. In even better news, our county people got to me this week and I now have three nuisance jobs to get on this weekend. It is starting out to be a good summer.

I have seen it wash out both sides a few times before.usually on a pipe that has been installed the previous year.

Fisherman,they call after the season because before the season ends they have to call MNR who will contact the trapper who owns the line to take care of the problem.
After the season ends the nuisance beaver program kicks in and all calls to the MNR concerning nuisance beaver are directed to the nuisance beaver program co Ordinator.

I just hate killing lactating females.Each to their own, but down here I have stopped doing nuisance beaver jobs in the spring.

I dont like it either,but when they are causing public safety problems they gotta go.And with some trappers cutting back on harvesting because of lower prices it provides needed management of the resource,to some extent.
