Gasoline. SOAK it down, back up 50 yards in the boat, then pump a few rounds into it til it lights off. Or Tannerite. :-p

Lodge! It's called a "Beaver LODGE!"

Beavers laughing at your bushmaster .

So, I'm confused. The impound hasn't been used, for its intended purpose, for 30 years. You have no plans on using it, but, you don't want the beavers to use it either...or otters...or turtles....or lilies. So, why not just drain the whole thing and eliminate your problems? Thanks for the video and have a great one!

Rain and melting snow will fill it up. Lilly’s can be very invasive weeds. To keep on top of things, you need to maintain your property. Otherwise it can get marshy with so much backed up water or even turn into a dry fire hazard. We have a nice smallish sized property and it does take a bit of care.

Good video. Thank you for sharing. I would definitely get some trappers to get rid of those beavers and have them come back every year.

A gallon of diesel and a match. just saying. It works.

Beaver's will rarely use already used wood

We use to touch a match to the dens, easier than tearing them apart

A few well placed conibears works better. And you're free to do other things in the meantime.

Wow, you he-man, you. Beavers were here before you. They're the king of the keystone species.

Great video

Have you ever thought of putting a 4-in PVC pipe two of them under the water and just letting it dump into your thing that way the beavers can't pack it up with mud and sticks and everything to let the water constantly flow cuz it's something that we had to do just a suggestion that might would help you

Can’t you drain and build a concrete spillway in front of that gate then put some more fencing back up there? I know they are so SOB’s to clean up after.

I’m telling you, you need to put heavy duty grating on the front of the drain. Half circle shape so it forms a circle when combined with the control drain. It’ll prevent the beavers from putting stuff “in” the drain.

The sound of running water gives the beaver the alert that there is something wrong and it also leaves their den out of the water. Here in Oklahoma a study was done by the wildlife service with a tape recorder and a external speaker with the sound of running water. they came back the next day and the speaker was covered with mud to muffle the sound and the beaver was trying to stop the running water. to help keep the beaver from putting the debris in the riser take a hog panel and hoop it around the front of the riser and stake it down.

Awesome man. Air Defense Artillery, both Sill and Bliss 2007-11. Looking forward to catching up on what else you've got going on on here.

Probably your best way forwards on this is to install a beaver deceiver device, and put the control gate along that somewhere. Beavers are many things, but intelligent is not one of them and a fairly simple underwater inlet to a drain pipe is enough to fool them. They rely on the sound of running water; if they cannot hear that where they are, they don't do anything.

Might wanna invest in a Swamp Boat if you gonna keep the impound filled with water

they will stop up pipes and then dig a tunnel in the embankment to regulate the water level.

Duck Dynasty used to blow the dens up, made for good footage too.

Need to set some traps around there

Go to a fresh damn they made. Put traps 4 at best one foot under the water. Just bust the damn a little where it licks. Dude they check the dams every day for leaks. Old mountain trappers prospered trapping this way. Take at least a foot down where they hear it running to fix it. I hope to see a video of winning this.

The Beavers of War

Put traps there, the hell with the animal rights. You have rights also.

If they hear running water they bring reinforcements. Beavers cant stand the sound of running water . They panic.

what if you set the den on fire?

I vote for diesel & a propane torch

Beavers don't afraid your expensive rifle and probably they are preparing some trap for you :-) You should use something more effective like c4 to equal your score ! It's Vietnam now, baby.

Why not install a beaver deceiver cage near the control gate? It would prevent them screwing with your gate and you could let them co-exist with you? I am not a tree hugger defending beavers. I have seen first hand how much damage they cause. When I was still working we had a pack of them that took over a storm detention pond. They actually took woodsy debris up the pipe and blacked the manhole flow. Caused local flooding and pissed everybody off nearby. Lol.

Couldn't you just burn it? The beaver den, that is. That way, they don't use what you've removed to float to block the drain control.

Why not burn the thing from the inside out. You can't build with ashes.

@@504carl in my experience, no. I've had the sticks and limbs piled by dams long enough to dry and burned them on the bracing when they rebuilt the dam. They have plenty of stuff submerged, such as the remnants of food stores after they've eaten them. It is easier for them to transport material via water than to drag it across land. I've seen no evidence of the ones I've dealt with having ever pulled my piles apart to reuse the sticks. And, if I pee around the cut in the dam they are slow to patch the hole.

Have you thought about getting the fencing part of a chain link fence to put around and on top of that drain? Fasten that to the top and that side. Water can still get through but the beavers can't stick stuff down inside the drain and clog it up. It'll all be at the fence and you can just pull it away from that.
