Yesterday was a FANTASTIC day. Mike Digout’s clever decision to hang a Canadian flag over a known beaver path paid off in spades and all the country was abuzz over it. He was on the radio, the evening news, and he may have even done a zoom call with the queen or something. Just watch how BRILLIANT this is. And then I’ll tell you why it’s even better than it looks,

How much do you love that beaver? And by that beaver I mean Every Beaver Ever. Mike also gave a fantastic interview about how he made this happen. Make sure you listen.

Isn’t that wonderful! Mike is a fantastic spokesman and getting better every day! The other fantastic part about this story  is that long ago you may remember I objected to an insert in the beaver management plan by Elijah Portugal  about the wallmart in the city of Logan Utah. It quoted a trapper saying that beavers could be “discouraged” by hanging a flag at the dam which would blow around and frighten them away,

I totally didn’t think that was anything but BUNK and argued endlessly about allowing it to be included in the Urban Beaver section of the Beaver Restoration Guidebook. Well yesterday I sent this too Elijah Portugal and he had to laugh.

“It obviously doesn’t work if the flag is Canadian” he said.
