Also got a photo of one a couple of years ago on the Cotswold water park, it was not shy and sat outside my mates bivvie for about 20 mins before wandering off surprising what's out there doing  well  right under our noses, just wondering  if a terrier can go into one of those dams, back in the 70,80,s they were crying out for people to dig out those coypu,s on the Norfolk broads doubt it will happen again though we,ve gone all soft, another thing about beavers I heard they contaminate the water they live in with a bacteria I,ve heard Americans refer to it as beaver fever which makes me chuckle , but might not be a laugh if you get it, but like many things they are here so let's see what happens

Beaver meat makes superb bait for traps,  in very cold climates, as it doesnt freeze and it smells very strong,

i would welcome them here.

They increase the 'time of concentration' of rainfall come serious storms, by making dams.This reduces the severity of flooding by allowing time for floods to dissipate.

This, in turn,  leads some to believe they are GOOD for the environment.

I personally feel a little more study is needed and, by the way when did they disappear from UK? Have we had serious problems with flooding up until recently ?

Is it possible for Walkers to make beaver flavoured crisps ?

Thats the only way they will catch on.

a favourite redneck past time

happens all the time in the spring or on warm winter days around here.

 

when you blow the damns up then you sit and wait for the beavers to come to repair it.

pick em off one by one
