We have been in a really bad drought this year here with most ditches and small streams completely dried up. So, nobody is having beaver problems. With no public land around, that pretty much erases all...
I hope all charges to both parties stick, if what I’m reading is true. If you get permission from a landowner and they tell you to stay off a certain part of the property, you’d damn well better listen. Good luck to the next group of kids asking permission for that field. It’s not going to be...
