Beaver Dam
      10/07/05 10:56 AM
Edit post Edit   Reply to this post Reply  

I have a nusiance beaver dam on my property. They are flooding a waterway which is causing severe damage to my horse pasture. I don't really want to hurt or kill the beaver, but I do want to discourage them. I really would like them to just move on to another location where they will not be causing me any trouble. They are quite industrious little creatures. Simply tearing a section of dam out does no good at all. They will have it rebuilt bigger and better within a day. Does anyone have ideas on what can be done besides the drastic and illegal? If it was the old days, I'm quite sure some TNT would do the trick.

Check out the thread Beaver Problem. Plenty of ideas for ya.

Here is another link -- it's to possibly the article Garey mentioned above: Leveling the Fight with Beavers.
