    Easy Method For Hunting Beaver

    I have now used this tactic several times with the same results. It is really quite easy. If you wish to hunt beaver instead of trapping them, the beaver can be brought in to a specific location, partially or totally out of the water, and stationary or nearly stationary for the shot. You simply break open a shallow portion of the beaver's dam earlier in the day and return that evening when the beaver will be most active. The beaver will go to the damaged portion of the dam to either inspect it or to actually try to repair it. At that time, the beaver may be partially or totally above the water and its motion greatly slowed. That becomes the opportune time to shoot.

    Here is a video of this being put into practice from last evening...


    Of course, all local laws still apply.

      Well Beaver is excellent to eat actually. Skin it, boil it for 20 minutes and bake. Very much like beef, maybe better to some.

            Yes, but feel compelled to fix their dam, which is sort of cool.

              I have no ides how many beaver I have killed at locations I made tore out the dam some or almost completely. One of my uncles worked for years for timber companies and part of his job was beaver dam removal, remote ones the easiest way was to blow them up so did that some with him and on my place in Mississippi when the dams got large he would come over and we would blast the dams and setup for shooting them that evening. often with enough damage they would start showing up about sundown.

              On eating the critters they can be very good, but if they have been eating pine which they will forget eating them unless you like turpentine.
