Wow, that was an incredible amount of work and your tumble at the end had my heart in my throat. You have more stamina than me. I would have had to stop halfway through and returned the next day to finish once the water level had dropped. Job very well done and I hope you're okay.

Yup I am 56 years old, old leather

[@HeathHadley-of9xl]

Damn Ray, you are one persistent SOB. And I mean that in the best way. I can easily see myself undertaking a similar project. I know how water can be and I was waiting to watch you eat it like has happened in my experiences. You almost made it to the end. Bravo!👍😃Keep it up.

[@lets-allplay]

Good work there - I have a feeling if that would of been me, I would have taken a tumble or two into the water.

[@meintsgwen]

I just found you and subscribed. That's a big dam.

[@lawrencewiddis2447]

Nice video!

[@loisannevans3720]

Looks like it has been done more that once, log bound!!

[@linato1855]

This showed up on my feed and being a fan of dam destruction, I watched amazed you didn’t have a potato rake for the job. Harder work but done…Is trapping illegal in your state? Looks like a repeat job by the amount of debris. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@SurPrime7926]

are you ok from that fall

[@RollnRye74]

fyi beaver dams keep your water table up.

[@taurushipointenthusiast1306]

I know TOO HIGH, I have to let it drain

[@RollnRye74]

@@taurushipointenthusiast1306 Yeah, that's good! it's feast or famine. the areas that chased out beavers are struggling with water and the areas that didn't, have way too much. I've seen where Nevada is trying to reintroduce the beaver but ranchers are not liking it. I think they would have been more receptive because the area around the ponds grows healthy vegetation during dry season and droughts that their cattle could eat. kind of reduces the dependence on irrigation channels. anyway, be safe out there and be good to those beavers. :-)

Camera not very clear

[@michaelbokrosh7374]

Wonder what the state wildlife and land commission thinks of what you're doing? Got permission. I'm sure you have complete transparency and understanding of what the results are ecologically from your actions.

[@taurushipointenthusiast1306]

YES they know my driveway is underwater until it is clear.

[@MzKari]

Clearly u don't watch the hundreds of other creators who remove dams due to the destruction beavers cause

[@postalfnj]

@@taurushipointenthusiast1306 Yeah right

[@MyCracker1234]

What was you expecting to happen when you let that much water through at once the water level will rise......it wasn't a smart move you being an older person and it's cold right now........

[@taurushipointenthusiast1306]

Eh if I do not no one else will, and then with no driveway I am still screwed. So I gotta pull it down when I have a chance, FUNNY you never made those comments in others videos of the same scenario, BUT HEY do not let me call you biased

[@rick5793]

Kinda like watching grass grow.

[@taurushipointenthusiast1306]

I guess you`d would know, spent the most time doing just that have you? You see I prefer to be more active. Do you. dont let me get in the way
