LMBO @ they cant!

SW this is the first time I have ever heard of something like that but it goes to show how important securing and trap is.

New one on me, amazing your duck weed is still green! Watched a nutria nearly laying flat on his back in shallow water one time raking that stuff in his mouth with both front feet like he was eating soup, lol. Until then I didn't even know that ate that stuff, imagine beaver do as well.


Seen culverts with log chain going all the way through them to a old tire wheel laying out in the water, other end of chain tied off to the side of culvert. Beaver's clog the culvert they just hook the chain to a tractor and take off, dragging that wheel through the bottom of the dam it all blow's out.

I had an opossum last year at a customers house push a wooden gate open and got stuck under it, the gate swung in and the further it pushed the tighter the gate got on it. Easy service call for sure. Should had snapped a picture.

After years of this I've come to the firm conclusion animals can find the strangest ways to die. Hold my beer doesn't just apply to young humans.

Netting beaver was made illegal for a reason.
Its the old way the Cree took beaver in winter before steel traps.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Exactly what our township does except they use a frontend loader. They actually leave old telephone poles next to problem culverts just in case.

Ive walked and crawled into plugged culverts with chain and other adaptations hooked into large wood and then scrambled out and let backhoe with boom pull out.
