Anyone hunt beaver/Or Trap um ?
Didn't get any this last year.
So far this year nothing either.
I want to get 2 around 70 pounds or bigger & make a bean bag chair out of them.
I've shoot a few that were around 50 pounds ,yet their still to small for an adult size bean bag chair.
Anyone know of a place with bigger beaver swimming around,winter time when pelts are at their best ?

Seems like all the ponds around here are swamped with 'em. Me and the SIL like to get out when we can and shoot the heck out of 'em. They are about the worst thing for a pond 'cept drought.

I got rid of a couple that were damming up a waterway at the farm last fall. I put these tubes thru the dam with holes drilled into the side of them to try and outwit them and drain the waterway, but they just built a new dam in front of it overnight when they couldn't stop the flow of water.
