I had to shoot a beaver today.

I wish I didn't have to, and I still feel kind of bad about it, but it was a choice between him and about 15 acres of otherwise dry land.
I went to my parent's farm today, and the beavers had built a pretty big dam at the mouth of a creek that drains 2 big fields. Another 6 inches and both of them would have been underwater. Normally, there is a local trapper that takes a few of them every fall, but he hasn't shown up since his dog died.
So, I set up by the dam in the evening and I shot one. I don't really like killing things for no reason, but what the hell could I do?
There's at least two more of them down there. I hope after tonight they just fuck off, but if I have to drop another one, I guess that's what I'll do.

You're going to have to destroy the dam they made, and wait for them to return. Beavers are really fucking nasty pests, you gotta do what you gotta do.

Well you didn't exactly kill them for no reason then, I suppose. Agreeing with Mush, I would definitely destroy the dam if I were you. Like the bees that try to nest on my deck, if you destroy their homes repeatedly they will likely find another place to live.

Yeah, I guess I will have to break down the dam. I really don't want to get in the water, though. It's pretty cold now.
Is there any special trick to destroying a beaver dam?

Why? What's so funny? Is it because I shot it, or because I'm a pussy for feeling bad?

I thought for sure that was going to a sexual euphemism and this thread was going to explain it.
Dissapoint.

Oh, I've killed my share of animals in my life, but they've gone to good use. I guess I feel bad because this one just floated down the river afterwards.

I've been on some serious beaver hunts in my time, the details of which are far too lewd to be talked about even here.

I'm sure it ended up feeding something.

The Canadian rite of passage.
Don't get too close to the beaver, they can be very aggressive

Make yourself a hat out of the first one then slippers. or moccasins if you are a lesbian. You didnt kill them for no reasonop. but not a huge fan of any rodent
You had the right to kill em kill em all.
-------------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
