No beaver repellant?......................
Well I have a couple...
...a 44-40...
a 7.62x56...
a 30.06...
and several 5.56.
Its hard chemically repel 1000 acres.
Any kid that brings me a beaver off our land gets a crisp $20 bill... even though most kids where I’m from would do it for fun.
What are Beaver pelts going for nowadays?.......................
Microtheriomys brevirhinus... was less than half the size of a modern beaver and related to beavers from Asia that crossed the Bering land bridge to North America about 7 million years ago... during the Oligocene period, about 30 million years after the dinosaurs, along with three-toed horses, a two-horned rhinos, giant pigs, saber-tooths, rabbits and several species of dogs. The fossils, and those of 20 other rodent species, were described in the May 15 edition of the journal Annals of Carnegie Museum... the age of the beaver fossils was deduced by their location between two layers of volcanic ash that have been dated from radioactive isotopes.I didn't take the time to check to see if the moron patrol had stopped in to claim that, since radiocarbon dating only goes back 50,000 years, how can these dates have been figured out. Not only is radiocarbon dating not mentioned in the article, that particular red herring has been cooked down into fish sauce many times, even here on FR.
LOL!

Dam.
LOL!
I hate you!
Mr. Moron, you were a little hard on the Beaver . . .
That sounds like some kind of tail.
I own a small lake and land in a new association community. When new roads were installed, some changes occurred in the drainage of the lake and part of the water was lost. EPA had put painted rebar around the edges of the lake. A beaver came along and rebuilt the dam where it had been damaged by the road builders, and the water came back up to the level marked by the rebar. Then the heavy spring rains scared the other owners who were afraid the lake would flood over the dam road. So they live trapped the beaver and moved it far away and tore out the beaver dam, and my lake is now half the size it should be which it was when I bought it. I WANT MY BEAVER BACK!!! Now I have to do the hard work of building a real dam. Damn. ;-)
I forgot to mention this beaver did not build one of those log and branch huts in the middle of the lake, it dug a hideaway in a steep bank which became visible when the water level dropped.
ground hog
While the groundhog is a member of the rodent family, it is more closely related to a beaver or a squirrel. And like the beaver, groundhogs’ front teeth are ever-growing; meaning groundhogs must constantly be gnawing to keep them the right length.
having said all that, truth that it is, the picture is still of a ground hog, not a beaver
Did you really have to post the attention-starved eunuch???
Post #24 deserves an “abuse” complaint.
