Yup. You would be suprised how quick they can rebuild
In the 90s, I worked for Georgia Pacific contract trapping Beavers and blasting beaver dams on hundreds of their properties. I trapped each place for a couple weeks before blasting the dams. I used KinePak explosives and typically blasted a dozen dams per week. If I didn't fully trap the beavers prior to blasting they would rebuild...sometimes overnight. Several times my Conibear traps were even pulled up and put in the dams as building materials. They are hard workers for sure.
They also built some amazing looking water systems. I remember many of the ponds I blasted were many acres in size and I am sure downstream the water rose significantly.
Never had the cops called on me.
