They got to my dam and rooted it up pretty badly. They tore up the face, back and top. I'm going to attempt some repairs but I doubt that it is going to cause leaks. But, if it ever rains again, it will cause some erosion. After raking everything back into place, I'll be adding a lot more FEL loads of big rocks which I have no shortage of.

And, there's not much I can do about it. They are 100% nocturnal so hunting won't help. I've tried trapping but they ignore the trap. I've even allowed highly experience trappers to try my place but they've given up and left. We've shot about 5 or 6 over the years and my Grandson shot a monster sow a couple of years ago. We just rarely see them except on game cams.

They showed up at my place about 10 to 15 years ago and this is the first time I've had a problem. Now, I'm chapped.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
