Wisconsin Wetlands association is at least asking the right questions. I’m assuming they really want to know the answers and aren;t just going to say “By causing Beaver Fever“But historically Wisconsin is one of the states that still blows up beaver dams “to protect the trout“. So really anything is possible.
