War with beavers

[Cajunrider]

To be handled carefully. One killed a Russian guy. They did have it in their car? Bit through his femoral artery. Could'nt make it to the hospital.

No problem. Crazy Cajuns are quite different from crazy Russians

What most people don't know is that the testicle was worth as much as the pelt. Into the 50's. Sounds crazy? Thus the french name for beaver. Castor. People were lathering themselves up with it to attract a mate? Then the pope declaired it a fish so the voyageurs could eat them with a clean concience

Not the testicles, but the castor glands. The castor is still very expensive and they use in perfumes. Hahahahaha

My guess is the Cajun gets the beaver skinned and gutted with meat in the cooler before getting into the car.

True dat but the real difference is in the idiot check and balance system. For every crazy Boudreaux there is a crazy like a fox Thibodeaux to protect him.

No way it could. "Beavers" and "War" are extremely popular topics
Add wet dam and wood to the mound.....

Well, personally I prefer to observe beavers rather than skin them.

But if I had some gnawing on MY bonsai trees, I might reconsider

There's a whole gigantic enterprise focusing primarily on observing beavers.

Thank you. I've been biting my tongue the whole time

Beware the beaver

The beavers in my area have made some pretty nice yamadori material. Its nice that they do all the trunk chopping ahead of time. Wish they had a better eye for primary branch selection though

Casualty so far:
18 BCs chopped.
1 beaver capped. One gator had a good meal.

Charge more for those trees since they are “naturally” chopped.

After we capped one they escalated to taking the rest of the chopped trees plus a few more. We can see that they are fortifying their mound.

And the war drums beats continue….

Casualty update
3 beavers capped
29 BCs destroyed. Some had their bark completely peeled off. There is no chance to grow back for those BCs.

I wouldn’t be able to collect my larches off it weren’t for the beavers here. Slogging through a mile+ of 3 foot deep mud is not as easy as paddling through a nice beaver pond.
