Huge Beaver Dam Taken Down By Excavator
A huge beaver dam taken down by excavator. I removed the beaver dam with an excavator from a big beaver pond. Draining the beaver pond with the excavator. Beaver bond was on both sides of the highway connected with the culvert pipe. Beaver dam removal! Big beaver flood and beaver damage.
Road service ordered a beaver dam removal of us because beavers raised the water level so high that it will have an impact to the road dam. We took the excavator and removed the dam. All the water flowed onto my estate. Big beaver flood and beaver damage.

The best way to control beavers is to dig a channel through the dam. Then place a perforated metal culvert in the channel extending maybe 20 feet in front and behind the dam. The beavers cannot hear the running water and will not try to plug up the culvert !! Try it, it works great !!
Thanks.
It's all about the sound to them, researchers played the sound of running water through a speaker, the beavers piled wood on the speaker, pretty crazy.
@@bigredc222 I have to try this too. :D If I do this then I will make a video for you.
@@AFHProjects It was about 100 years ago I think, these guys from England, I think the royal society, went to Canada to study the beaver, they were convinced beavers were the smartest animals in the world, because of how well they built, and chose the locations for their damns, they were so disappointed when they figured out the beavers weren't that smart, it's all instinct. You need to find an old CD boom box, then make as long a disc as possible of flowing water, I'd love to see it.
Msgt. Bill that’s fantastic
Бобры Академика напряглись, глядя это видео
Тоже интересно стало как бороться с ними?)
Ты похоже все видосы на эту тему уже пересмотрел! Везде твои коменты. У меня теперь тоже куча видосов предлагается ютубом после просмотра академика.

Beavers: screaming Post10: heavily sweats
The beavers will have that fixed in 20 minutes
😂
I'd have it fixed with a .22. Lol
@@dansgroi1472 now that’s illegal
We try sometimes this method too.
Not in here. We are allowed to hubt them.
If you wanted to create a lake like that, you'd have a gang of engineers with survey equipment then a team of workmen with diggers etc. Beaver- Hold my beer.
That's true 😃
Hold my Root-beer 🍻
:-DDD !!!
also M$ in fed, state, ans county tax money...
beaver talking to the engineer; we'll destroy your dam,,, tell me how you feel?
That beaver is going to wake up from his nap and be really pissed.....😁 Thanks for the video. 👍
Beavers are pretty incredible architects, "ill put this stick right here and this other one there and wallah we got a home and a lake"
Wallah - really? Don't you mean viola?
@@mstrdiver I'm not one to critique how beavers talk or sound. I just write it the way they speak it....
@@Cameron-ur2tk- Cute reply. I've finally met the one and only Beaver Whisperer! ;-)
“What the _literal_ fuck!?”, said the man who had built his new home next to the quaint little stream a mile down.
You mean when the beavers blocked the stream he asked, "where the fuck did my stream go"?
I guess he isn’t that bright
Beavers come out shaking their fists at you saying “You haven’t heard the last from us”.lol
Not to mention a lot of fish tail flipping as they lose lake water!
Rumour has it the beavers put a contract out on this guy 🇨🇦
😅
Imagine the beaver’s reaction when they go clock in for work.
Work is like that never ending
Ever wonder that they guys way down stream think when that water comes down?! 😳 lol
They must have had quite a stomach up north!
Definitely a heads up just in case especially for kids playing nearby...😊🌎🐒🐧🎸
Beavers are great from an environmental perspective in that they help control the flow of water and prevent flooding
Here it's not a problem.
Seriously? They cause massive damage with their flooding and destroy ecosystems that were downstream before they blocked the river.
They can in certain circumstances but not when they flood farm fields and roads because the are overpopulated in Lithuania. The 1960s reintroduction of the beavers has been way too successful with limited predators now and the Soviet construction of the drainage systems under fields and the drainage canals.
I did sorta same when I used a skidder and a big three prong hook to catch with.. long story short was I was pulling that junk out and a huge beaver came out and was slapping his tail on the water and it would crack like a rifle shot/LOL. I got to say he was not impressed
these type of videos have that "oddly satisfying" moniker that people love to watch..some day an University will study people who have this urge to watch..i will volunteer for this study!
I wonder how the land looks like the next summer ... must be beautiful than
It is kind of amazing what fairly small rodents are capable of doing. Beavers never cease to amaze me at how much damage (or beautification) they can achieve with just their teeth and their flat tails. I have a beaver pond that abuts my property that has been there at least 25 or more years. The fact that their dam has lasted as long as it has is mind blowing TBH.
I kinda see a little bit of us in them. We build massive structures like cities and skyscrapers and rockets, but at the end of the day, we're just large, clever primates. :P
They ain’t that small a lot of em
it is not very good to destroy bobrosy dams, because because of this they have to immigrate and at the same time they die, we in Russia give a large fine for the destruction of Beaver dams
@@darkponies9139Good for you. No one cares about your misguided views.
Know some old tymer farmers that used dynamite to blow up the dams. LOL the smiles on their faces after was always ear to ear.
That beaver sure knows how to use an excavator. Never knew they could operate heavy machinery
Forget the smaller, Tonka version of this you used to play with when you were younger, THAT is the ultimate man toy!
That sounds so peaceful and serene after they finish clearing the dam
Deer 1 mile down the river. " man this creek always so small, I'm thirsty.. what's that noise..? "
6:06- Cameraman falls in the water! I kid you not!
The beaver pushed him.
@Bbjones Jones Wow, BB , thank you so much for pointing out such an a gigantic faux pas on my part. Fallen...vs .....Stepped hmmmr You're also right on the money to see that for exactly was; a fine example of High Strangeness. Coming from God knows where, but spotted and corrected by you. As I think back, many strange and odd occurrences took place that day, 11 short months ago. I'm glad you were there, to help me make it thru. What with your help, everything went swimmingly. I thank you, BB
The key to removing any beaver dam is to remove as much mud as possible from the upstream side. Any beaver will tell you that the mud is the cement and the sticks, branches, logs, grass .. etc is just the rebar of the dam.
That's right!
Why is everyone wanting to remove there home when you can just remove the beaver one last time
@@damonhardy6793Because their home causes major damage.
Am I the only one who wanted to jump on a inner tube and ride down the Rapids 😆
I don't think so 😎
Beaver dam you get beaver feaver.
that flows much better now! lots of downed trees in the area. Busy beaver!
Unless you turn beaver into a coat, the process will continue. Every 2 years a new beaver crew moves up river to expand their territory.
And beaver pelts are incredible. Warm, soft, light, and durable.
if we could train them to mine gold and silver we have it going on
They do good finish work. I got some r.o.w they could put back.
Instead of wood putting in the dam now they put rocks and minerals. Now good luck removing that one buddy
Happiness is a warm beaver...
People always exclaim about how wonderful a beaver's dam building skills are, and how wonderful the wet lands they create, are... Nobody talks about the destruction they do. When a beaver clear-cuts land, nothing grows back. Where are the anti-logging protesters?
I love the sound of rushing water and heard it a lot in the Portland Oregon area. Down here in Texas with these people here, mellinials please leave the room ! Texans have done their best to make sure it stays a stronge Republic !
They like to forget that the country is a republic, not a democracy. That's why the took the Pledge of Allegiance out of the schools because it stated this fact.
Now I know what happened when I was playing in that creek those many years ago 😂🤘
Esta es la mejor forma de cuidar el medio ambiente. Bendiciones
Ignorante ygual que esos después acusan el cambio climático
Excellent filming very entertaining thank you hope you didn’t get to wet when you crossed that log lol🇬🇧
Thanks! I gave my best. Luckily I didn't get wet. 🇪🇪
Klamath falls Oregon is watching and I find this very interesting.....
They make a beautiful lakes.holding back water is good for land.
I agree. But we have too many of them.
@@AFHProjects says who ? Who is the creator ?
I say, because there is beaver dams everywhere. If you look out the window you will see fighting beavers, if you walk late evening you will see beavers. All the shores are dug out so...
Every tree that ends up in a flooded area b/c of a beavers dam dies; yup sounds wonderful.
Should have been on the other end and film all the water heading down the stream. 🌊
This is the best of all the Beaver Dam removal vids I have watched on KZhead. Lots of different point of view shots. Tells the story! Well done. I would add maybe a couple of time-lapses of the pond as it emptied. But overall... nice job.
Thank you! I appreciate your comment.
Put some piping over and it should keep flow going
Neighborhood: it's flooded all over again Beaver: Told ya
It’s so interesting to see the area after the water is gone!
Yeah. It is. Thanks for watching!
Did u have to remove all of it? And now to prevent water rising so high when they rebuild ...?
Yes, we removed all we can. We didn't prevent that. If you wanna prevent that, then you can add a long pipe into the dam. So the beavers don't see where the water is going..
Always interesting to see what it looks like with the water gone.
Yeah, the areas that you can't see when it's under the water.
I have had to break several beaver dams because they were flooding people's yards. But that look better with the beaver dam intact
O man my pool 🏊 as gone o well Build another one I’m better and stronger see you later
Amazing what a few little critters can build
I’ve flooded a part of my town from destroying beaver dams 🤣🤣🤣🤣a few friends and I removed a section and went back to the next day to finish it off only to return to a flood.
Thanks for uploading.
This is where a drone would be helpful to show down stream! just a thought.
Yep. The drone would be very helpful but it's out of my budget right now.
Now that's one hell of a straight truck.
Although I have been busy as a Beaver in a Spring Flood nothing like this..,LOL !
jaki bilans zyskow i strat ??
Было красивое озерцо. А сталось болото. Они заново отстроят.

You Are right.
Beavers sue for hostile destruction of family's waterfront home
There is a lot of piece with water
Damn beavers!
Super. Pozdrawiam z Polski :)
Nie sądzę że to dobry sposób.
This could also be on one of those flash flood KZhead channels, lol
Wow. What happens downstream when all that water lets go at once?
Oh, never mind. Saw the answer below.
I have a golf course near my home and a beaver has moved in to one of the water hazards and built a lodge. The beaver is trying to dam the thing up by clogging the drain with various pieces of trash left on the course by golfers. The golf course employees must remove the stuff regularely, but they can't remove the beaver lodge, because they are a protected animal. I'm rooting for the beaver, obviously.
Klamath falls Oregon is watching
Thank you for the before and after.
Thank you for watching.
Beavers are great engineers 👍. They taste good too.
They are. I love the meat too. 👍
Does the city/county require the property owner to take out the dam?
Road government ordered the dam removing job.
Who cares

Buster Beagle Then the beaver shouldn’t mess with Mother Natu... Oh, Wait...
Where is this?
In Estonia.
А ночью пришли бобры и вернули все в зад... Без экскаватора.

I used to work for a watershed in Minnesota and we just used Kinny Packs (sp)...did the work quickly, too.
I don't know exactly what you mean. I'm from Estonia. Maybe I don't get to it. What is the Kinny Packs?
I'm pretty sure it was explosives. It came in two tubes and had to be mixed together like epoxy. Then you had to run like hell! @@AFHProjects
I see...
The beavers will just build it back and the process will start all over again.
Как красиво, Я бы всё это зачистила, высушила болото всё по хозяйски, весь сухостой и ненужные деревья срезать, почистить дно может и углубить немного. Весь берег и всё убрать, пустить опять воду, красивое озеро было-бы, и малёк запустить вот ещё и рыбалка с отдыхом. Ручушку тоже не мешало бы убрать берега подкорректировать, да и вообще нужно любить природу.!!
Да, это хорошая идея. Это не моя собственность, но я сделаю то же самое, если она моя.
How does one determine if it is an ACTIVE Beaver Dam or an OLD abandoned one?
If it's holding water then it's ACTIVE. If it's not holding then DEFECTIVE. 😄
That went from a pretty pond to an eyesore
Can't wait until the case makes it to court Bucky D. Beaver vs. DPW
It's over before it even goes to court: God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, *and subdue it;* and *rule over* the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky *and over every living thing that moves on the earth"* [Genesis 1 v28]
Wow amazing what little paws can do The surroundings are so peaceful and birds in background Nature stuff Nice do beavers build dams and move on .?
Beavers are building dams to hold water level high so the lodge entrances are under the water. And if the water level is high they can move around easily and transport wood for food and dams.
So has the dam been rebuilt yet? They work pretty fast when the need arises.
Yes, they're rebuilding it so fast. I need to edit this report video for you guys. But the hunters got 2 beavers in this weekend. Don't know what happens next. Is there any left or no.
A park I walk in they kill the beavers. I feel sad for them. They don't get along with humans too well.
@@AFHProjects please don't kill them, but I don't know the solution too. The whole thing about survival
I was just wondering what the impact is for folks living downstream of this dam removal. I presume that was considered.
Most of this flood is my property down there. After that was no impact to anyone.
I'm just wondering why did you have the dam removed? Not for or against but curious
It's written in description.
I don't think they beavers considered their impact to others when they blocked the river. And don't you mean returning the area to a natural state? Because that's what they're doing by taking it down.
That's amazing what those critters can do...
Looked better the way the beavers had it.they had a nice pond u made a swamp.
That's for sure.
They would love to have that water in Lake Meade Right about now! LOL June 19, 2021!
Wow. Thanks. All the way from Melbourne Australia 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Nice! Thanks!
Damn Covid was rough , even the beavers got evicted . Wonder what the beavers thought seeing the excavator take out their home lol .
Beavers do not live in dams!
@@AFHProjects I know but once the pond dries up , their lodge is useless . I wasn’t being negative , you obviously had your reason for the damn removal (again not being negative ).
I like the organic gopro mount.
Great
Wow... !!! My best friend, Loved this video. Looking forward to see more. Awesome... Full watched.
I hope everyone downstream was cool with you flooding the lowlands.
Yes, all was good 👍
Please let us know how long it takes the beaver's to rebuild the dam.
I will do that. They already have some progress.
Beavers. Does anyone know how to use an apostrophe anymore?
@@hermit6208 Public education.
@@hermit6208apo-what?
The rabbit hole has caught me..AGGHHHHH. I came here from drain addict. And bizarrely Bob Ross
Do you warn the people down stream before you flood the area?
No, who does that? Down there is my properly mostly and my neighbors sauna with fireplace was flooded. So, all good👍
Have the beavers rebuilt yet?
Yep, they are.
There is a lot of power with water
At the end of the video it appears that tannerite needs to be part 2
Just curious, what neighborhood was flooded??
My and neighbor properties.
Awesome video, great job
Did I miss the neighborhood in the woods somewhere? I sure didn't see a flooded neighborhood
