Beavers from lake

[eachergreens@gmail.com]

Beavers have taken down three very large lorapetalums this winter. They evidently like them and not azaleas or gardenias which they left. Any suggestions on how to keep them from coming into they yard. They are definitely beavers. Saw one. The cuts are as clean as if someone sawed through the branches

Don't know how to keep them out of the yard but my sister in NH wraps wire around the trunks of her trees to keep them from chomping them.

Thanks, We've done that with trees. The bushes were about 7 feet tall and as wide. There are many branches on them. I never dreamed beavers would go after them. We've been here for a decade and beavers have just found our yard.

Is there a beaver hunting/trapping season in Texas?
Maybe beaver fur hats willmake a comeback.

Beaver hats never left. I've got a 100X 100% beaver hat I only wear when nothing could possibly fall on, drip on, stain it.

We had trouble with nutria. They had cut some trees down on property and we had thought they were beaver but finally saw one and found out what the problem was.

At first we thought it was nutria, had never seen a beaver here, but saw one in our yard. No mistaking that tail. I blocked the steps from the lake with our redwood benches and the next night the beaver chewed through the bench plus chewed the edges of the steps and got into the yard anyway. Persistent little bugger. Now we have wires across the top of the steps, but there are probably other places where it can come up at the bulkhead.
