Why did the beaver sickle the tree?

because he though it was a poplar thing to do?

Hah beavers .So here I am,17 year old the summer of 1965 in the mountains of Colorado noticing aspen trees gnawed off 6 feet above ground level and thought how did they do that ? It dawned on me finally they were on top of the snow in winter .I thought they were either damned tall of they had a ladder .Duh!

They are more of a nuisance than tree rats. They have been repopulating this area.

They reintroduced beaver though out the state of Ohio in some areas maybe 25 years ago .My oh my did the farmers whine like a broke dick dawg after they blocked all the field tiles and damned up all the small rivers and flooded the corn fields .Not to mention eating the corn . A bunch of 3 pound muskrats can do a number but thirty pound beavers can really play a tune .Eat a lot of corn too not to mention all the cotton woods within 200 feet of a steam . Dogs ,red tail hawks etc might mess with a muskrat but they'd be damned stupid to put a run on a thirty pound beaver .One chomp from those big old teeth old Fido would be noseless .

We have banned hunt for beavers, and they are now simply too many ... You are eating beaver? In Russia the Beavers are a delicacy ...

I don't know why they wouldn't taste good - they aren't scavengers.

Just because a critter is a scavenger doesn't mean they are not good to eat, does it? Dungeness crab comes to mind.

The Beverly Hillbillies were quite partial to possum.

Andrew, as an English as a second language speaker, the joke is 'beaver' as slang. I'll tell you this...a man doesn't have one.

Google it .

Yes in areas where they are trapped. Outside of those regions most people do not realize how taste they are.
A small town close to where I grew up had a Muskrat and Beaver roast each spring.
Right that's the one...typed my last too fast, I knew it was one of the two! Flip it made my eyes burn.
Good thing we don't chip.

Yes, chipping it would have been pretty awful, I bet. Probably would have made you sick as a dog.
I got my firewood home today.
The forwarder showed up in the woods next to my house this morning and I managed to talk the operator into forwarding my firewood this afternoon, because it may well be the last day of frozen ground.
All I had to do was remind him how he wrecked my lawn 3 years ago, when he drove across it in the rain.
That was when we found out why they don't use forwarders on golf courses

It's thawed here also which would really track up a lawn being still frozen beneath .It wouldn't sink but my oh my would it tear the sod up .

Frost is coming out of the ground here this week. Phone is ringing. I say lets get the mud started and over with.
Actually I don't have a say. At all.

I hate the mud, but wearing a cheap pair of gaiters sure does help!
