Beavers and Tree Felling...

[MCW]

Matt, I believe there used to be a strong affinity by Beavers for the cartographic rendition of the Island of Tasmania (also known as a Map of Tassie) although i believe that currently many younger Beavers appear to have shown a strong affinity for, or mimic the actions of some of their kin in South America, specifically Brazil, even if they can't reside there.

Rick. You may or may not know but next Friday I am heading to Tassie and as luck would have it my other half is unable to go. Does that mean I have a higher chance of seeing Beavers in Tasmania or a lesser chance?

By the way, I didn't know Beavers were in Tasmania but am pretty sure you have it wrong with Brazil, most of the Beavers have been removed there from what I've heard?

Al please stay out of this dicussion. You had your chance earlier asking whether Beavers can yell "Timberrrr" and trying to make a joke out of a serious thread. I have since found out that Beavers can't talk (thankyou Wikipedia).

Do you think Beavers would use snatch straps to get trees over?

 

[porky616]

But a Beaver that is eager is far better. Anyway Aaron, please remember this is a serious thread. It is not about the smaller series of McCulloch chainsaws. Try to remain on topic please Unless you know a Beaver's felling techniques please stick to being attacked by rogue emus and leave the comments up to our Beaver expert friends from the Northern Hemisphere...

By the way, how are those Box Thorn puncture wounds going?

just wonderfull thanks matt, blokes at work are calling me russell coight!

Fine then............I'll go start a "beaver eaters" thread!

 

[MCW]

So does anybody actually know whether they use Humbolts? Once I can determine that I'll ask about Dutchmans...

That may be more suitable for a hunting forum where wild game recipes can be traded and discussed...

At first I thought you said "humjob" but realised it's "humbolt".

Is that hum then bolt like the Koala eats, roots and leaves?

I thought that was a Wombat?

Anyway Al, please try to keep this thread on topic and away from marsupial creatures. Thanks

 

[tdi-rick]

Naa Al, that's the Wombat.

Eats roots, shoots and leaves

That is one hell of a funny series. Once again Rick, please try to keep on topic. I searched high and low but there is no mention of Beavers being found in Tasmania or Brazil. Although there were a few websites that came up "blocked"?

Oh ok......the mobile speed hump!

 

[tdi-rick]

Seeing as the Beaver we are discussing here is native to North America, does that mean that there are sub-species of Castor canadensis called Castor canadensis mcCulloch and Castor canadensis pioneer ?

And if so, how have they survived the onslaught of the European Beaver upon their haibtat, Castor fiber, sub species Castor fiber husqvarnis and castor fiber stihlis and the sub-sub species Castor fiber solis and castor fiber dolmaris ?

And if they need dentures, do they use the Oregon brand and which version ?

After digging further I discovered this picture of a Beaver's felling technique. Obviously this Beaver has limited felling experience and is placing himself in danger. His escape path to the right is blocked. Guys like this one should be shot on sight. He also looks pretty cocky with what he is doing...

A far better technique was used here. Although difficult to tell whether the more suitable Humbolt was used at least his facecut doesn't seem to be 90% of the trunk diameter like that amateur logger above. Also look at the size of the chips. His rakers must have been significantly lowered...

Interesting image this one. His tooth angles seem to be spot on although his rakers may need to be dropped a tad and his lips dressed...

 

[flushcut]

Thats one nice beaver!

 

[porky616]
