Re: Stop eating my trees
We used to bring them to a smoke house near where I lived in Missouri and they’d smoke them and we picked em up a couple days later. They were awesome. That’s the only way I’ve ever had them

I found this on some public this year. I’ve never seen them get after pine trees, any one else seen that?
I’ve seen it a few times. Always thought a beaver must be pretty desperate for food if he’s chewing on a sappy pine tree.

Re: Stop eating my trees
Nice! yeah they can be a pain, they like to dam up my good trout fishing spots. Question- what's going on with your neighbors shed or small boat house in that pic? looks like its leaning pretty good, or maybe its an illusion from the pic? Just curious

I always find it amazing what people look at in a picture. Yes his boat house is leaning, not an illusion, good catch.

Re: Stop eating my trees
Just cooked up some beaver. I cooked it like I do a deer front shoulder, until it falls apart and can put it on a bun. Absolutely delicious. These little critters would be extinct if everyone tried beaver.

I trapped those critters when I was in my 20's. Done right they are decent meal.
I'm reason they call it hunting and not shooting.

A lot of work though. I get why people trap and then stop. Just over the last few days I had my fill.

Re: Stop eating my trees
I would break dam enough to start leaking. Set trap in it connected a L bracket with small holes drilled in it with wire ran through holes with about 15 feet of lead. With small boat anchor on end. Through anchor in water 15 feet out. They try plug hole in dam get in trap take off to deep water and drown before they could get back to air. Only had one to get back bank with anchor in tow. He didn't survive either.

Number 5 found them self tangled in metal this morning. The last 2 weighed 42 and 28. I am being told we should still expect 2 bigguns and maybe a few more. The lodge is the tajmahal.
