Shooting Beavers?
#11
Seriously, check your game laws. There is a season for beaver and it's trapping only. If Minnesota is like N. Dakota, you can't shoot them. If they're causing problems, call the DNR and they can take care of them. Usually they get someone that is a trapper and have them come out and trap them.
That's the right thing to tell you. What I do is tear down a small part of their dam and wait with the .223 for them to come fix it.

That is my plan, except we are gonna have an arsenal. .223, 22 mag, 12 gauge, ruger 10-22, and I may even take out the .280.

Here in southern Oklahoma we get a stick of dynamite and blow the whole dam apart. Really neat when beavers go flying through the air. We always have a small arsenal waiting on them, just in case the dynamite doesn't get them. If you weren't so far away we would come help you have some fun.
After you shot and skin them. Use the carcasses for baiting in coyotes. Coyotes love them. We have a guy here take hunts coyotes competitively. He keeps 10-15 in the "Pen" (280 acres with a 10 ft fence all the way around to keep the raccons and coyotes in). Beavers make coyotes fat. We have a source to get rid of the carcasses.
Good luck and have fun getting rid of them.
