That is what you get for buying cheap swampland! (smile) Leave them alone and they will improve your place, make you some nice duck ponds and beachfront property. If you wait long enough their dams will all silt in and you will have beautiful open meadow. Or you could finally get your wife the fur coat she has wanted.

When I lived in upstate New York we had a beaver move in and begin a dam that would have flooded a large area of deep woods and killed all the trees. Since it was on a city street and had buildings near, nothing could be done. Until some savage with a Savage shot it in the head with a CB cap. (Strangely, none of the neighbors called it in! Perhaps they couldn't hear the wee report over the artificial gunfire on their TVs and video games?).
By the way, when beavers in an area find a hopeful spot for a dam, they keep tryin'--when you get rid of this one, expect its relatives to try again in the future. CBs come in packs of 50.

Lowell,
FWIW, was an interesting show on Discovery?? last night. Sorry this is so vague, but, as I understand it, essentially beavers dam the culverts coming under rural roads. As they apparently work perpendicularly to the water flow, wildlife folks have created a beaver confuser that is a cage irregular in shape that causes beavers to give up the idea of damming the flow at the outlet. Might apply to your problem in a more permanent way than picking off the odd beaver...
Regards, Tim

Think I'll have to snap a cap in his butt.
Lake on one side of the road, and now the beaver dam on the other.
This is at the low point of the road also, only a two feet or less above the water mark, and the beaver's pond is growing!
Will an Eley subsonic hollowpoint settle this?
Dave, no haunch of venison this year.

Couple cans of BP and some exploding targets will do that dam in with one shot from that Kimber of yours. My freezer is full once again.Let a couple smaller ones walk by during first week but the first snow and my grunt call brought in this little fella I thought he qualifed as a shooter.
