Shooting Beavers?

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.

I just need to get my hands on some of this dynamite. Coyotes too, this is starting to sound like more and more fun.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

on a more serious note, my uncle has troubles with the varmints in the drainage ditches on his farm. We have gotten permission in the past to eradicate the beavers by whatever means necessary, including dynamite. The funnest part was watching down the ditch, facing west, on a night with a full moon. You could see them coming from a couple hundred yards away, line up the sites on the .300 Savage, and boom. OOOOPS!!!! That was a muskrat [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]. We did get our share using the rifles.
