My schedule isn't allowing me to easily stay out all night and hunt them on the banks so what approach should I take tomorrow in Beaver elimination.

Rip the top and try to actually aim at the beaver with an AR or just start shooting into the dam without ripping the top...

Pipe bomb?

The dam or the lodge? The lodge's are usually out in the middle of the water, the dam is of course obstructing the waterway.

Guess its a lodge but its on the side of the water.

Blow it up

and video tape.

Blowing up wasn't my first choice as I wanted to have a hat made out of the beaver skin


but if shooting doesn't work I'll have no option but blowing it up.

Dont forget to video tape

I wanna see this!!

Blow it up! blow it up! blow it up!

and here come the beaver jokes.....

If someone can build me a small pipe bomb I will gladly set it on top of the dam. I'll try and get some pictures of whatever happens tomorrow. Will let ya'll know what happens.

On a full moon nite, shotgun with buckshot when he's swimming.

A beaver in the hand is worth 2 in a bush or is it a hand in the bush is............ memory ain't what it used to be...//

I normally see swimming the tank at first light....maybe get out there 30 min before sunrise with a .22 lr. Take a pole rigged with a snag line in case they sink after being popped.

Forget all that crap and put a 330 connibear trap in the run behind the dam and you will get your beaver and without a bunch of holes in the pelt and you can sleep and let the trap do the work. Wish you were closer and would show ya how its done.

Put some of that tannerite junk in there and shoot it






And video tape it

My money is on the beavers...i bet your first few attempts are foiled...Kinda like the woodchuck commercial by GEICO. Funny stuff.

Ok, so I was wrong on my terminology, we have the beaver lodge on the side of the tank. I had not seen it until today.

If I had to estimate the lodge is approximately 8-10' by 15-20 feet. Has Mud/leaves to hold it together tight.

So we were looking it over and I started jumping on it and the durn beaver swam right out but stayed under water and didn't surface....

So with all the said and due to the incredible size of this thing I am going to pick up some traps this week and see if I can't snag a beaver.

Sorry about the explosion ideas but the lodge is surrounded by dry now dead hardwoods so don't think I can make that happen.

has he dammed up the spill way of the tank yet? beavers hate and i mean hate the sound of running water. if they have dammed it up un stop the the dam right before dark and when they pop out for their nightly rounds one of their first priorities of the night will be to stop the running water. sit close enough and pop them as they swim up. got 3 in one night in like an hour by doing that.-- they hate the running water sound so much that in studies, researchers placed a recording of water running in a dry field close to a known beaver colony and they placed mud over it until they couldnt hear the noise anymore lol

Tear that beaver up!

If all the blowing up and trapping doesn't work I have a friend who used to work for Texas Hunt Fish and is a Beaver Specialist. I know bring on the jokes but that is/was his title and job. He would help folk get rid of the beaver populations on their properties. I could give him a call for you if your having trouble.

I have a pound of Tanneraite.

I can't wait to see that beaver sitting on your head!
