I think this is officially the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen.

Jedediah Smith, Hugh Glass, Ed Rose wouldn't have had to fight the Blackfeet and the 'Rickarees. They could have just waited for airdrops.
That's what made America great, man's quest for beaver.

This isn’t fair. A good beaver thread comes along, and I have to go to work. Can’t wait to read the comments when I get home.

You have to wonder if they made any combat drops into the backwoods.

Anyone that has had to deal with those over sized rodents knows the only overpopulation control is the same as with a mouse or a rat.
They are extremely destructive and ruin wildlife habitat and haying and/or grazing areas. Flood roads and property. They will take a perfectly health aspen, a foot or better in diameter, 40 - 60 feet tall, lay it down and skin it and remove the small branches.
The county uses explosives to blow up their lodges. Some poison them. With a inexpensive fur bearer permit I shoot and trap them.
