Dam, Beavers & Fallen Trees Iwent to the farm today and busted up some beaver dams (the beavers have turned our property into a swampy mess) and I cut 3 hackle berry trees…I wasn’t paying attention and my saw tip got pinched. I tried to use some ratchet straps to release some of the tension but that didn’t work. I had to use a handsaw and cut the tree to get my saw unstuck. The cross section of the tree was probably as big as a laptop….it wasn’t too bad…
