I know exactly what it sounded like and that is why I worded it that way.
This is at the foot of the hill at my family's farm in Howard. There is a little creek that runs at the bottom of the hill and there are 9 beavers that have built a damn dam 40 yards across and in places it is 6-7 feet wide. My Dad and Uncle as well as myself spent a few hours Friday trying to dig out the dam. It has been flooding the road next to the creek and making it impassable. The night after the dam was broken my cousin shot a 50lb beaver. The next morning the dam was back together and you couldn't even tell we had done anything to it. Then just to piss us off they went down stream about 100 yards and built another dam just to spite us. It is amazing what those little guys can do in such a short amount of time.
The picture is taken from the road. This creek at one time was about 3 feet wide and now is gigantic. Originally the creekbed would lie on the far bank of this picture.
They actually broke their own dam and let the water down so they could go in an rebuild it and then they patch it up again. The dam itself has a layer of sticks in and then anywhere from 1 ft to 4ft of mud packed in behind it.

Busy as a beaver is no freakin' joke.... I have a 2 acre pond right out my back door and I used to mess around with them. I have a 24" pipe in the pond and they would fill it up just enough to make the water stop. After awhile they would have the mouth of the pipe full then I would go and push it through.... sounded pretty cool going through 40' of pipe. The next day the same thing.... I enjoyed messing with it for almost a year then decided it was time to take care of them.. 3 beavers in a week.... 42, 43 and 47lbs. I have 7 actual places of water and 2 came out of the big one and one of the others came from in a lower pond.

Dude be careful, destruction of beaver dams, lodges, den trees, and other furbearer habitats is a no no

It is amazing what those suckers can do. We have a few on the creek but theyre the lazy beavers. They rarely build lodges and never build dams, they just live in their holes and cut just enough trees to eat.

Well they are flooding a road that will leave some people stranded so the County road department asked us to take care of the problem before they do. Judging by the number they do on our roads I would prefer the county workers stay the hell off our land
I don't really want to do them any harm but being out where they are they are being a nuisance at this point. If you figure out a way to trap and release 9 full grown beavers I am all ears
why don't we just catch them, skin them and go buy a bottle of whisky and get drunk
