There was a beaver that had to be removed from an area not far from me just last week after it attacked some folks. And although they aren’t really related, I had a mountain beaver wander into my backyard a couple of days ago and take a nip out of my ankle when I went to evict him - I scrubbed it out and doused it with EtOH and I’m not foaming at the mouth yet so I’m ok. He was quicker than I expected. Didn’t out-quick my dog, though.
So, you and the dog are both okay?
Are you allowed to shoot the rodents?
Last year, in Russia, a beaver cut through a man’s femoral artery—and he bled out—and died!
