You may want to disguise yourself in order to sneak up on them.

Once upon a time in my town, a developer discovered two back to back beaver ponds and thought it would be good to build houses around them.
The new home owners complained about the beavers and thus the beavers were killed off.
Now the homes surround two very wide/deep holes in ground.

Do you own a dog?
Is it possible they could help?

LOL - you could have said Castoridae but it wouldn't have been nearly so much fun!
Have a great weekend and good luck with those pesky Castoridae!

In that case, I'm posting this, because when I saw it in the paper this morning, I knew I'd have to post it somewhere.

Use a wench and a large tree to pull the dam apart and destroy their home. They will rebuild oce before moving.

My brother bought a havahart trap and caught them. I don't know what he used for bait but was very successful.
He wouldn't tell me where he released them but he kept a chain and cinder block on the end of his dock.
My sister is a master gardener and they have a beautiful lakeside property. They woke one morning and a dog wood was gone and a Bradford pear was nearly ringed.

I'm no trapper, but every hunting club around here has a few fur trappers in it. I'd ask some of the local hunters around your area if they trap or know any trappers.

Use a wench and a large tree to pull the dam apart and destroy their home. I take issue with the manliness of anybody who sends his wench to take care of a beaver problem.

The very best way we've found is to pour water down their holes. Trouble is, they're pretty hard to catch and hold.

Introduce an alligator to your lake, give him 2 months to eat all the beaver then call DNR and complain about the gator. :=)

Good one! An old one but a good one. First time I heard that expression you were not even a twinkle in your father's eye.
