TOO MUCH WATER IN THIS CHANNEL!

This dam holds tons of the water next to the road. Hunters are not regulating the beavers. Only thing what could help is drain the water regularly. Very wide one and I think deep too. I couldn't check the depth there unfortunately.
Enjoy the video;)

That dam held an incredible amount of water. Looked like a lot of hard work. Enjoying watching your videos.

[@jimbruce3923]

Awesome Filming. I really like it when you have the cameras away from the dam. It gives an overall picture of what is going on while you are dismantling the dam. It helps when you show what's happening down stream while you are dismantling also. Thanks For Letting Us in on What You Do!!!

[@Kenislovas]

You are welcome! I am glad you liked it!

[@jonabriggs8829]

That's crazy for them to tell you not to open it, it would actually help them catch the Beavers as they come back to repair it, they could set up traps there !!

[@gravelydon7072]

Or if they were hunting them, it would give them less area to hide in the water in. They aren't thinking.

[@mariagdaws6083]

Nice work Mantis Very satisfying and relaxing to watch before sleep Thank you 🦘❤️❤️❤️

[@Kenislovas]

Yeah it was.. I was a bit nervous...

[@Kenislovas]

Yup.

[@YvonneBVidal]

This is why I came to the comments to say the exact same thing

[@rhutton7851]

Another wonderful executed removal. something to keep your eyes on if the Beavers are not trapped. Stay Safe.👍 🇬🇧

I give you props for taking it down anyway for the community because if the hunters were actually hunting the dam wouldn’t have been that massive! Awesome job and dedication 😊

Wow Mantas, a really big dam and lots of water. The beaver were very busy building it. Great removal.

[@Kenislovas]

Thanks James!

[@JuanitaHundley]

You have no other choice, you community has to survive. It is vital that the water level be maintained. God be with you in you efforts.

well done, I love watching you unblock the beaver dams you are a hero well done matey xxxx debbie uk xxxx

[@rogerdudra178]

Greetings from the BIG SKY. It's getting fall around here, too. I'd bet that the beavers have taken up a jackpot for getting rid of you after you take out this big beaver dam.

[@Kenislovas]

Hey! Thank for insights :)

You did a great job on dismantling that dam,hopefully the hunters will be able to take care of the beavers before they have a chance to rebuild the dam.always impressed with your commitment to the community and your family for taking on these challenges.great video.kudos 👍👍👍😎😎😎🦫🦫🦫

[@Kenislovas]

Thank you!

[@terryhatcher9644]

Do beavers work in small family groups or communal groups. That is a lot of building for only a week or two. Looked like mostly branches and trees with little mud. Water was moving fast also. As always, be careful and hug Elfa

[@Kenislovas]

😉✌️

[@rogerdudra178]

Beavers are smart in Montana. They show many qualities of intuition here. I saw a beaver dam 1/2 mile wide that they built on a river in Canada.

[@DellaPicconi]

Lot of water behind this one,..I bet you hear running water in your sleep,..you always have interesting videos,..

[@raquelhernandez1733]

That was a big beaver damage! Greag job taking it down!

[@gramof5396]

Great video, Mantas! I love seeing the water cascading down the canal! Best wishes for you and your family, especially that beautiful baby and her first steps! ❤

[@Kenislovas]

Thank you very much!

[@DJKJCrazyWolfman]

You had those pro beavers on this one, tough foundation, that's why you could walk back & forth on it with all that water pressure, great job 👍 Water is a bit high on culvert, there may be some blockage down stream from it

[@natalieb.8548]

Well the hunters don't sign your paychecks so I wouldn't listen to them either! Thank you for all your hard work! 🇨🇦

[@user-pj1kt9ry7q]

I like seeing the water flow on both sides of the dam. Blessings

[@Kenislovas]

Thank You!

[@rustyiron]

The shallower the water left in the pond makes it harder for beaver to float material in to rebuild the dam. The cut has to go down to the same level as the stream bed down stream from the dam. Visiting the dam regularly, every day or second day will help discourage beaver from repairing the dam. When you remove material from the dam but not from the stream you are making it harder to remove the dam and easier for the beaver to repair the dam. Removing material that is making white water will give you the better results with less work. Sticks hold the mud that holds the water, remove the sticks so you can remove the mud and release the water.

[@artistartist2689]

I so enjoyed your commentary In the beginning. Wow that must have used up so much of your energy. The size of that dam was off the hook!

[@Kenislovas]

Glad you liked it!

[@KSJen]

Strongly done! Nature also thanks you for this work! And me, who cant help but relax watching videos like this.. listening to the water run, watching the dam being dealt with.

[@Kenislovas]

You are welcome! Thank you!

[@741662027]

If beavers keep building back in the same place, could you bury something like a chain in the bottom of the river, and easily pull it with a tractor to break a new dam?

[@user-zv1re7ne1l]

That's great job,amazing take care godbless.❤

[@Kenislovas]

Thanks!

[@DJDEB21]

I've never seen you lose your footing before this video. Definitely slick conditions. Glad you're always safe and watching to see how the dam responds to every stick/tree you take from it ❤

Yes, I've slipped on sticks.. fortunately I am well ;)

Thank you Martin!

[@user-qv7in9fw3j]

Hi, yes that is alot of water they stored. Waiting to shoot an animal isn't protecting the environment . This should be easier for them to hunt the beavers now. they have to come back there to rebuild .... You did a great job again on this.. Thanks for the video and you be safe ..

[@Kenislovas]

[@timothyryan4523]

Outstanding piece of work .

[@Kenislovas]

Thanks!

[@lamwen03]

The beavers having to rebuild that dam in low water conditions will make it much easier for the hunters to take them.

[@Kenislovas]

It should be easier job for them of course.. Because most of hunters are lazy guys.

[@lamwen03]

@@KenislovasI'm surprised they didn't think of it themselves. 🤣🤣

I love your job I really enjoy keep it up 💕

[@rogerdudra178]

Here in Montana we find beavers HATE culverts and do their damnnest to plug them up,

[@DJDEB21]

Those trees were pretty big in this dam. Not as many limbs it seemed, more trunks of the trees. Awesome that you help your community!

[@Kenislovas]

There are living quite huge beavers family I think.

[@DJDEB21]

@@Kenislovas hopefully they are able to relocate them soon

[@MzKari]

This is more of a dam built by veteran beavers cause the younger ones don't use large limbs they tend to use twigs and more mud

[@joseRios-qx1mm]

Excelente trabajo señor!!. Pero porqué no usa maquinaria pesada? Sería mucho más fácil e interesante. Saludos.

[@ianallen2]

There is a lot of thick branches there. If you get a chainsaw (petrol or battery) and cut up the thick brances to about 12 inches, you could sell them as firewood.

[@cjthompson1521]

Hi, Awesome job a bit scary I was praying it wouldn’t burst and wash you away the power of that much water all at once would be devastating. I think your beaver dam wise by now. Best wishes to you and your family . From Carol in Queensland Australia 🇦🇺

[@gwscrt]

Wow those beavers really work fast!

[@Kenislovas]

They are! :)

Your English is very good and is improving

Thank You!

[@richardphelan8414]

Beaver pelts in the summer really aren't worth that much in the deep winter is when the pelts are the best for selling and are the thickest and will bring the best money ,That's why the hunter's are not bothering with them now , I have a feeling this damn will just keep getting rebuilt bu the beavers they must have many tunnels off this huge canal and ample food and lots of building material

[@stevenmansell7612]

Don’t worry about slipping when when do international waters work well done

Would any of this wood after it dried, be good for fire wood? Thank you for taking the time to share this event with us.

Deepening on how wet it got, could takes months or years to be dry enough.

[@kittycatz1116]

That was great!!

[@eddykirksey8836]

Nice job!

[@tanbw922]

You are doing an awesome job. I wonder if you had considered using a chain saw to cut the long twigs and logs instead of pulling them out. This may make the initial stage of the clearing work easier, Just a thought.

[@davidbingham7404]

Mantas , great video. It was a large beaver dam with a large amount of water behind it, glad that you did it now , due to the fact that the road was starting to have damage to it. keep up the great work.. David B., Utah, USA🦫🦫🦫♥♥♥.

[@Kenislovas]

Thank You David!

[@chadevans4922]

You should bring a trailer to cart off all the extra wood. It would make great kindling or mulch. Beavers will reuse it if they have to. They prefer new wood but will use old stuff if necessary.

[@fayedewitt4183]

Beautiful area, awesome job❤😊

[@ironwolf9402]

Don’t know if this will help, but f you can carry a piece of thin pipe or rebar with you. When you get it flowing back off the pond side wiggle that rebar or pipe in and wiggle it down at an angel to your low side of the dam. It will help eat that sand and dirt off the pond side and help free up any sticks and wash them away. Hope it works for you it always done me right. Love your videos.

[@Kenislovas]

Thank You!

[@davidlewis9068]

wow a lot of water built up nice disassembly but I have the feeling the beavers will build it back in a week or so as they probably won't get hunted.

[@gordonverrall1477]

Beavers do not dig tunnels after they have flooded their meadows they build a mud and stick base and then build a cocoon of more sticks and mud layers until they have a dry and warm bed to raise their young.

[@bradanderson1627]

Beavers do dig tunnels underground. Depends on what conditions they are in. Here in th US they dig tunnels in banks 30 to 40 feet long with a 2ft opening

[@barbthequietwatcher7069]

Hi. I just started watching but please wear something bright when you know hunters may be around. In the US we wear bright orange. I care and would hate for the worst to happen. ❤ Also you would think the hunter would like that you're clearing a dam. It should tell him where to hunt cuz the beaver is going to want to rebuild. 😊❤

[@Kenislovas]

About the hunters I am not sure. Because at that time they seemed angry on me :)

[@fredkamsteeg2715]

Hi Mantas, can you tell us how the trapping and hunting of beavers is organized in Lithuania? Are they just “pleasure” hunters or is there a program of trapping and relocation ?

[@Kenislovas]

Actually hunters are responsible to control population of the beavers. But as I know hunters hates to hunt the beavers. There are some reasons: 1. It's necessary to remove beaver dam to reduce the water and find the beavers. It's a lot of work. 2. If you shoot beaver in the water you must catch it in the water and bring on the edge. 3. Not everyone likes beaver meat. Better they are shooting deer or hogs. 4. You must wait long time for the beaver to come.

[@ImNowJJL]

I was wondering if you’ve ever put a second camera downstream from where you work? Say a 1/2 km or 1 km? I’d love to see the affect of the water below the work area. From a guys perspective I find your videos very satisfying to watch. It makes me want to go tear down some beaver dams myself!!

[@jeremy1350]

Hey Papa. There were a lot of branches with "fresh green" still on them, along with all those really big tree stumps and branches. They must have been topping off the dam recently, yes? What does a hunter get in profit when he shoots a beaver? One Pelt or two? I don't know if beaver is edible for humans? They'd need a good number of pelts to make a profit. Why do they not want you to bust the dam, so that they can have some fun shooting beavers ?? Are they not invested in the land and the farms?

[@aardhond]

I hope you and the hunters start to work together

[@leland4286]

How about a video of you making something from beaver pelts, maybe like a pair of boots.

[@Kenislovas]

No, Thank you! :D

[@stewthorne]

do they always use fresh wood to repair the dam ?

[@Kenislovas]

Mostly yes :)

[@dennyjairett7114]

How long do you think it would take to drain down with that much water going back that far

[@Kenislovas]

Several hours.

[@remi3741]

you said the trappers say you shouldn't have opend the dam so they can shoot the beavers. i think the best time to get the beavers is when they try to rebuild the dam now again and get them in action.

[@randybedker1584]

When youopen the dam the beavers become more active . Because they want to stop the water flow . So they spend more time out of the den working which means more opportunities for the huunters to shoot them.

[@Kenislovas]

Right!

[@georgew.henkel3182]

It is not easy to spot a beaver in the wild. Most Trappers set traps to catch the beaver and save the meat and sell the furs to compensate their time and expenses. In my country we have to have a license to control the wildlife with the Game Warden/Natural Resources. If the beavers cause problems for roads, land and farmers. They are relocated to isolated areas. The beaver dams help the fire fighters get water when there is a forest fire. Our people make the beavers work for us and we let them live the life of a beaver.

[@Kenislovas]

We don't have fire in the forests fortunately ;)
