I have a major infestation of beaver in my lake, and they keep blocking up my spillway and emergency overflow channel.
I have trapped most of them this year, but I have been having more fun than a barrel of monkeys snapping off 200 yard shots with open sights at them when they swim across in the evening.
I figure I have put more lead in the lake with my various rifles than I ever will shot anyway.
buddy of mine in south jersey trapped 25 beaver this past year.
too much work for me.
