If you just destroy the dam/lodge the beaver will just build it back. Either waste them or live trap and relocate them.

Dnr

A friend who lives in "Culvert" county told me he had contacted DNR to assist him in the beaver problem he had.

Don't know if that is still the case or not, but I think it's worth a try if they are that much of a problem.

Otherwise, go ahead and get a nice little Ruger 10-22, scope it, and have some target practice.

prolly taste like mud.
Heard they're about the same as ground hog, a little on the greasy side, but if you know how to cook'em they turn out good. :yum:

I thought you could trap them during that time frame and kill them for meat, release them somewhere else or something about their fur as well, however you just cannot go down to say my pond and shoot them? :shrug:
Never said or implied that you could, I wouldn't tell on you if you did. But using a snare, smooth foothold, and/or body-gripping traps can all be used in season (at least in St. Mary's).

:tantrum :shrug: Walked down to the pond last night to look at the new damage just from that day, and the beavers were swimmming back and fourth flapping their tales like they were trying to scare me...It was unlike anything I have ever seen...

on the dam what?
:lmao:

Yep, where I live it's a bunch of swamps out back now, used to be a creek till the beavers got there. They have built about 10 dams, all about 3 foot wide, so thats how we would cross the swamp. The bad thing is that it was not hunting season yet so I was just out with a video camera taping deer so I couldn't get the dang beaver away

Well they got used to use for a while, every now and then they didn't like us walking on their dams. When we started riding 4-wheelers across them the beavers seemed to get scared off, didn't bother us anymore.

Well let me tell you that these beavers that have adopted my pond are scared of nothing..The 4-wheelers do not bother them, the gator does not bother them, nothing. The more we disturb them, the more they flap their tales, and then at night they get their revenge by destroying even more trees. I am telling you, I have never, ever seen anything like this...It's like living in some wild life documentary gone wrong.... :banghead:
