Beavers, beavers everywhere!!!
Alright you furry fuckers. I have had just about enough of you! Everytime I turn around you are back in my yard taking my trees. You’ve been yelled at and chased out of the yard. When are you gonna get the hint you stupid beavers?!!! Why do you have to b

First, it wasn’t me. Second, if they chewed down your poplars, they did you a favour.
Wow. What year do we live in? Where do you live exactly?? My suggestion would be to set some traps, catch them and sell the pelts to the Hudson’s Bay Company. I know a guy that will give you a three point blanket, some glass beads and a bottle of trade whiskey for good pelts.
yeah poplars suck…they wont even burn well. good beaver food though.
jeez, i don’t see what the problem is, if i had a tonne of beavers in my yard wanting to chew on my poplar i’d be one happy man.
Yeah I was my wood was as pop’lar with the beaver…
Yeah I wish my wood was as pop’lar with the beaver…
First, I posted this for fun, but Yes I DO have not one but 5-7 Beavers living in the lake I am on, and they only took 1 poplar which yes, is fine, they could have taken all 3. But yesterday I went and investigated further. There are 2 birch, 6 maple, the 1 poplar, 4 maple saplings I had growing, numerous other small trees/bushes, took the apple tree on the other side of the fence(my neighbours) and chewed all the bark off the other apple tree. He’s got a huge trail cleared on both sides of the fence and a little slide to go under the fence. They are quite crafty….and extremely destructive. But truthfully I really do not mind him and his pals hanging around. It just pissed me off to go out and see all my beautiful trees gone….I guess that’s the price you pay to live with nature.
I would suggest your next course of action to be organizing a boycott of nickels until the beavers leave your trees alone.
“Niiiice beaver.””Thanks. I just had it stuffed.”Gotta love Police Squad.
Ha! This is the best bitch I’ve seen in months! Seriously though, don’t bother tryin to go to war with a beaver, cause it’ll win.And poplars do suck. Get something hearty like a white spruce, or a Tamarack.
What’s with all the poplar hate? Maybe you should start planting more trees, do some research and figure out which ones they like most, then plant a bunch for them so they will eat those ones instead. I wonder if a human built a little hut in the water where beavers lived, if they’d move in there instead.
