- Back for beaver dam # 3. I have been here for about a week now and am starting to feel the burn. It was another good day for critters. If I didn't have the camera in my hand, I bet I would have caught that ruffed grouse on the road. Plus the garter snake and raccoon were pretty cool. It was a good sunny day, now one more to go!

Gene, the sound of running water is the sweetest music! You are working very hard, but is is such a rewarding effort to open a beaver dam. I remember....
Hi Marie, 👋
I agree 🌊 🌊🌊, but I also like the funky beats, 🎶. 😆
Have you fought the beavers before? 🦫 🦫 🦫 💪. What is it you remember the most?
What I remember the most was the incredible force of the water when the dam was opened. I remember too that beavers are very persistent...lol
@mariet.5020 Yes, it is very powerful. Some of the bigger ones can be a bit dangerous. I like the smells.
They are very hard-working creatures. 🦫 💪.
A great gigantic clearing today. Great water flow and current. Thank you for the dismantling and clearing. Enjoy the weekend, and see you on the next, Gene! ❤😊
Thanks, Martin!
Same to you, 👍

Wow you make it look so easy fantastic once again take care.
Thanks, Mark! 🙏
I will, same to you, 👍
For a few seconds, I actually thought you were going to reach down and scoop up that grouse! Hilarious! Really looking forward to seeing this one all the way through. What a massive dam. Hope you have a great weekend!

Human: "Bird, you are standing in the middle of the road."
I would have if not for the camera!! I don't usually get that close before they run off. Hopefully, she will smarten up before hunting season. 😬😬😬
Thanks, same to you!!
I know it's not easy work and combined with heat and humidity it can be quite miserable ,seeing the local animals is very cool, great video's Gene keep up the good work
Hi Richard, 👋

You are very meticulous. Lol
@user-bq3gs6ke6u I have a method,lol. But if I could just remember not to throw sticks at the camera. 😆.
Details, 🙄
Wonderful job, love your videos, looking forward to seeing more. Blessings from Tennessee 🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️ you need a trolling motor for your canoe 🛶😁
Hi Ruth.
You're right! I thought about getting a motor a couple of times. I really like using minimal equipment, though. Most jobs don't have very long 🛶 rides. Some of them, though.....🤔.
Thanks for watching and all of your great comments.

Gene ive seen the Dutch using poles to vault over water Not to get out of it, Looks great fun🤣🙌👍
I have seen that, lol. They climb the pole as it goes over the water. I don't think I am doing that in waiters, 😆.
From the River Styx to the river sticks! 😂👍🤗

👏 énorme travail qui respecte la nature .
🥴 le serpent, au début, je n’aime pas trop. Mon chat m’offre des vipères vivantes. Je le hais ! Mais un cadeau est un cadeau alors je le remercie et lui fais un gros câlin .
Merci, Marie. 🙏
I like the 🐍 's. 😁
They don't make good 🎁 though, 😆. 🐈🐍
Hello Gene! I must commend you on your expertise on placing the tripod. In spite of your trying, I’ve yet to see it take a dive! 😅 Btw…I bet you’re not even far from Vaughan (graduated from Rexdale and Malton) and yet it seems to be very remote…beautiful though… Take care…👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Hi Lina.
I will take out that camera one of these days.... 📷 💥 😭
I am about a 4 hour drive north from Vaughan... 🛻 🦫 🦫 🦫
@@geneplumley4136, wowwww…I’ve only gone as far north as Midland and west to Sauble Beach! Lol…shamefully, I’ve seen more of the eastern seaboard states and all of Florida, most of Cuba and other vacation destinations in the Caribbean than western Canada. Italy and Argentina are out as I no longer want plane rides of 9 to 14 hours. Stay safe and warm up there…👋🏻
Amazinng good job ,take care ,god will guide you godbless❤
Thanks, Avelina. 🙏
like you said, where to begin? That one didn't look huge, but there were thousands and thousands of sticks. And mud. So no trapping of the beavers on this one? Just trying to drain some of the water away from the farmer's fields?
Hi Dale. 👋
There is trapping on everyone. If not, these dams would be built back up in days. I am usually there for a week before the dams get pulled. #4 is the big one ,👍.
There are hay fields alongside this water system. Also, that bridge needs protection. When the water gets high, it undermines the foundation. I believe it is actually getting replaced at some point.
@@geneplumley4136 looking forward to #4. 🙂
Were the upright sticks areas where beavers were trapped in the winter? Also is the stream a creek or a river? Love your nature shots too.
Great question. 👍
Yes, we'll not quite. I had been there about a week previous to this video. That's how I get so many pictures of animals. I spend a lot of time out there. The 🦫's get trapped first. If not, these dams would be built back up in a couple of days.
I would call it a creek. It has no name, and the only reason it looks so big is because of the 🦫 dams. It runs for quite a few miles and drains into a small lake. Poor Lake got a big dose of 🦫 💩!
I was wondering exactly the same thing, they look just like the same set up on a previous video where you showed us the trapped beavers.
How many did you catch at this one?
@NiceLoki I got 10 🦫 's this round. Last year was about 20 in the same spot. They are prolific breeders.
@@geneplumley4136 Wow! That is a LOT of beavers.
Why would you remove a beaver-dam?
Hi Henk, 👋
Good question.
I do this for the local government here. The places I am at are considered municipal drains. Meaning it is the towns responsibility to keep the water levels low. This is due to farm fields, roads, culverts, and peoples homes. I hope to get a drone eventually to better show this.
What do you do with the beaver meat and pelts?
I actually eat quite a bit of the meat. It is really good. It's very close to beef but lean. There is very little fat. The rest goes for dog food. They love it. The pelts & castor glads get sold at auction. Skulls and teeth go for crafts. The only parts that go back are the guts, which the minnows make short work of.
@@geneplumley4136 that is amazing, you use so much of them. Are their bones suitable for dogs to chew on or are they too brittle?
@NiceLoki it is given to them as raw feed, so yes. They munch on the bones, too.
Please don't eat de beaver! He work hard to build a home please understand.
@FinancewithXibaobao Unfortunately, they taste great! 🦫 🍖 🥓 🥩
I feel it's better than supporting the farming practices that come from the grocery store.
Thanks for watching.
