Busting A Beaver Dam! Mini Bobcat Excavator Mud Stuck Water Creek

Working in the muck to break a beaver dam and try to dry out the bottom to build a levee!

[@Aramis419]

This is incredibly satisfying to watch. My cousin has a creek on his property and around Thanksgiving we’ll partially block it off so a shallow pond will form that’ll usually freeze by Christmas, and all the kids can go skating on it all winter. Come the spring thaw, it’s awesome breaking the dam and watching the water drain out.

[@royhoco5748]

if you leave the machine overnight the beavers will use it to rebuild their dam

Saw this in my recommendations and clicked it. In hope thatd there would be alot of post 10 comments. There are surprisingly not that many at all. Just alot of beaver jokes.😂😂

Nice touch, digging very deep along the spine of the dam so they'll have twice the work just to level the base later on.

I wish someone would explain why you all get so much enjoyment watching the destruction of one of natures most beautiful and useful creations. Wetlands make severe weather events less destructive by slowing runoff during rainy weather and storing that water for dryer times going forward. GROW UP!!

Post 10 does unlawful dumping when he moves debris onto City or County property. It's also trespass because that property isn't his. When he goes to ponds, that's NOT his property. If he gets injured, the property owner is responsible for injuries. He has been notified on t.v. not to do this. The City can contact him. He STILL does it but not on KZbin like before. He OBVIOUSLY isn't working. He's out there at night. Snakes are around. He recently moved straw onto the grass from the gutter when he cleared a gutter. That's unlawful dumping. Gutters are City or County property.

Why do I like watching the his stuff

[@davidchristensen6908]

The machine is nice for sure. It is just a small excavator. What the machine does is determine by who is operating it. Clearly this little excavator was being operated by a very skilled operator. No jerky all smooth and fluid movements. As for the Beavers if you don’t live in the area and know about beavers and what is required to remove a beaver damn just be quite. Just because a beaver can dam up a water way does not mean he gets too. In the USA and Canada we have done very well in letting beavers reconstruct waterways but it still require control. Nice video thanks.

[@sabargul3904]

[@billcoley8520]

Lots of people do not realize that on the pond side of the beaver dam , it’s slopped very far out into the pond. That allows the dam to be rebuilt very fast. They simply start pushing mud back in the hole after the water slows down

[@steva30]

A true master at the bobcat! good job mate!

[@whisperingoutdoors]

It's amazing how a bunch of beavers made that damn...they weigh at the most 50 lbs and it takes a piece of heavy equipment to remove it! It's something ain't it!

Poor beaver imagine the hardwork he put up just to set up this dam

[@toddb8779]

I can't beleive the people wondering why this is happening. And whining about the stupid beavers. He's not killing them (at least not in this video). If you own wetlands you would understand. The beavers slip in, back everything up and then control of your property is lost. He says right up there that he is going to build a levee. Well, why a levee? So he can control his own property water level based on time of year. If this was mine I would be telling you that I am building a levee system so could drain and plant food plots in the spring, then block it and fill it up for duck season which is what we do. The beavers will only move to another low point and start again, they are not hurt (at least not in this video).

[@toddb8779]

Yes sir. This looks similar to ours. We drain and plant in spring, then patch up the levee around Sept 15th. You can flood a food plot. You can't add feed to water later.

[@artisansportsman8950]

I'm from the UK so don't understand Beavers but thanks for your view on this makes sense now .I saw a survival film & this guy trapped them for the pelts he cooked one it looked nice.

[@robertscutt2904]

I always thought beavers created land in high Mountainous areas by daming up streams to create ponds that lead to lakes, and meadows Over time. All the wildlife in the forest benefit from the beavers Engineering skills.Moose, Deer, Bear's Wolves,Turtles.Ducks, Frogs, Fish, And many more Creatures, Even the lndians knew how Essential the Beavers and their Dams were to Life in forest, When Beavers are in the forest it's a thriving forest, They're dispensers of God's gift H20. Post 10. Use Discretion with the Beavers.Capeesh. P.S.They help keep Water in the Mountains, a Positive in a time of Drought.

[@garymccarver5006]

And the beavers will be rebuilding by next daylight. They basically can't be discouraged by merely tearing out the dam.

[@slowteacher]

I hope no beaver were harmed during this excaworking

[@lordieshepherd]

Good effort

[@DavidRojasElbirt]

Is there a way to use the beavers' dams favorably for your needs instead of destroying them? I mean, it's free intensive specialized labor. Is it possible to outsmart the beavers and choose the sight where a dam in your property would be useful?
