Hi Christine, 👋 Wow, that sounds terrible. Hopefully, your bad luck is over for a while. It must be quite painful. Thanks for watching and all the great comments. I will stay safe and pack lots of water. Getting caught out there without water is no fun.

@@ruthwright5395 Thanks Ruth. Much appreciated 🙏

@@jeffreylowry7984 Thanks Jeffery, 👋 Yes it was huge. There was quite a big population there. You bet, will do.

Hey John. Not too many beavers in Australia, right? If you are ever traveling abroad, you should give it a try. There is quite a difference between beaver dams. Depending on what they have to build with and how old it is. If you look at most of my other videos, I always start at the bottom and remove as much debris as possible before letting the water go. There comes a point, though. When you are just working harder, then you have to. Then I let the water go. Thanks for watching.

It’s too much work to start ripping thru the foundation, easier to rip up the top and let the water pressure help you tear it down … ripping up the bottom makes a dramatic turn down, but that’s back breaking work. Work smarter, not harder.

Hi Connie, 👋. Thanks! Yes, they were. 🦫 If I remember right, there were 8. And someone caught a bunch the year before as well.

I guarantee the beavers who built this dam will not be rebuilding it.... 👍

Hi Peter, 👋. Great question. I like to start from the bottom most of the time. It gets the debris out of the way before the water is running over it. But like you said, they are all a bit different. Some have more mud, and some have more sticks. Once it becomes difficult/less worth my effort to remove sticks, I let the water help.

@@geneplumley4136 ive been watching a guy in Europe do dams and he always works from bottom so dam rolls over ,its more dangerous i know but effect looks better when the water is released.

​@peterspuddleskoiandgoldfish I know who you're watching. Kenislovas, right? He does well. He puts a lot of time into making that happen. I have to be aware of what's downstream. That can damage bridges and culverts. Plus I get commissioned to do this and there is an expectation for me to do it in a timely manner. It is fun to collapse them though. I will find some suitable for that and give it a go. Thanks for watching.

@@geneplumley4136 yeah thats who i watch ,and know he does drone fly overs but hes got the benefit of open flood plains

@allanpeters4403 That's so dark! Haha. Hi Allan. It would be a rough day for the critters, 💪 lol. But seriously, it would suck to lose my boat or something out there. Most of the time, I am pretty close to roads. But the odd time I can be pretty far out there.

@@RickyCervo Hey Ricky, 👋 I was a day late! It's been a busy summer

@@geneplumley4136 don't worry, it's been a pleasure see your videos

@@RickyCervo Thanks, Ricky. 🙏

Thanks, Natalie, 🙏 Will do, 🥛

Hi Gary. I pretty much just use a potato rake. A shovel would be nice from time to time. I am usually pretty loaded up and try not to bring more gear than I have to. Thanks for watching.

@@geneplumley4136 I suspected as much

Hey there Lina, 👋 Haha, there is always one more stick 😆. Much appreciated, thank you. It was a busy summer, that's for sure. We might get a bit more warm weather yet. Same to you, 👋.

@@markleonard-pe3os I did! 🦫

@markleonard-pe3os Hey Mark, 👋. I had actually just finished with that. I believe I caught 8 there. Apparently, someone else trapped a bunch out of there last year as well. Once they get to a population of 15 or more, the damage can be unreal.

@@geneplumley4136 I knew there had to be a large # with a 550' dam. I going to try and trap some of mine so can try them.

@markleonard-pe3os Good luck. It's pretty good. 🦫 🍖 I eat a lot throughout the year.

Actually the lo gest beaver dam was 850 meters in 2022

@garyallport18 Hi Gary. Do you know where I can check that out? In the video, I meant the biggest one I have ever been to. There is one here locally I know of that might be bigger.

Hello, kokudou, 👋. Yes, we get all 4 seasons here. 🌞 🌧 ❄️ 🥶 I enjoy them all.

Hey, Cryogenic Fire. 👋 It was much longer than I thought it was. 🦫 💥 🌊 🌊 🌊

Thanks, Margaretckamaka, 🙏 Much appreciated. Mahalo, 🤙

Hi Southern Biscuits, 👋. Thanks, it's been a while.

Hi Marilyn, 👋 Much appreciated. 🙏 The bugs were fierce! 🪰 🦟 🪰 🦟

@FinancewithXibaobao Unfortunately, they taste great! 🦫 🍖 🥓 🥩 I feel it's better than supporting the farming practices that come from the grocery store. Thanks for watching.

@janinebell763 Hi Janine, 👋 They could build this fairly quickly. A few weeks. There were a bunch of beaver dams on this waterway.

Hey, CSMMaster, 👋 I did a couple of older videos you can check out in my library. It's getting better, but it takes so long. Thanks for watching!

@@geneplumley4136 Awesome. Will def check those out.

@@cjthompson1521 Thanks! It keeps me fit, 💪

Hi Geraldine, 👋 Thanks. You are correct, but these beavers were living 2 dams upstream. I was sent here by our township to remove the dam. It was flooding the road. Check out my next video when I went back in the spring. They definitely survived. 🦫

@keithmoss8640 Thanks, Keith. I am definitely there to get it done, 💪. I changed quite a few things over the years.

Well it seemed to be workin for ya.

😆. I lost it there for a second, lol.

Sorry, Janice. That's my job. There is no other legal option here. I am actually considering making another channel to show that part of it for those interested. Pulling the dams is only the very last day of what I do.

Hey Judy. They sure do.

Thank you, Dolores!

Thank you. That was a big one!! 🦫 🦫 🦫

I must stay in shape somehow, 💪. 😂

Thanks, Dolores! Much appreciated, 🙏

Thanks!!

Hi Muheza, 👋 Thanks!

Thanks, Connie, 👍 🦫 💥 🌊 🌊 🌊

Thanks, Allan. Much appreciated. 🙏

Hey, Cryogenic Fire! Thanks. Same to you and yours! 🙏

Hi Nette! 👋 Thank you, lol. It's good to be back. 🙏

Thanks, Becky. I always try to get it all. Certain ones are tough, though. It depends on how old they are and what they are made of.

Hey Mark! You noticed! I actually broke that one😬. I have to tape up this one. I almost left it behind the other day!!! 🤦

Thanks, Terri! It's hot here right now! I think I am going swimming in a bit. 🔥 🥵

Thanks! 🦫 💥 🌊 🌊 🌊

Hey Lina. 😆. Life got a little busy there for a bit. I'm glad to hear from you. I hurt my back a few weeks ago. I feel your pain. Take care.

Thanks, Ken. Much appreciated 🙏

Thanks, Hugo. I didn't end up going back the next day. It's a bit of a drive, and I had to move on to the next ones. I am sure I will get back there in the fall sometime.

@@geneplumley4136 It was a beautiful dam and a beautiful clearing anyway!

Thanks, Gerald. 💪

Thanks, Gwen! I try to get it all, 💪.

Thanks, Southern Biscuits! 🦫 💥 🌊 🌊 🌊 😴 💤

Thanks, Jack! I got a little busy for a while there. 🦫

@@geneplumley4136 hockey tape on the end of your of the pole will help with that... LOL

​@@jackviney6886 That's a good idea. I lose the rubber grips on the things pretty quick. Thanks

Hi Ruth, 👋. It has been a while . Thanks! 🦫
