Have had beaver, they moved out, muskrat, shot em', a river otter snooping around, haven't seen him lately, thank god! Now I got a brown mink burrowed in my dam. Worst problem is I have 5 dogs and they will immediately head for his burrow and are making the hole bigger. With spring rains coming this burrow will be underwater in 4 weeks-dooooooo not want this to happen. Really don't want to shoot him, don't think I can get him-he's smart. Will have to scope my SKS to get a decent shot (incidentally-an SKS "7.62X 39mm 122grain steel case" makes a really good snapping turtle eliminator. If you're a poor shot the concussion will eliminate what few brains he has. Just don't skip the shot into your neighbors back porch a half mile away) Anyhow other than trapping (cause of my dogs) can I eliminate Him other ways- Thanks - Postbeetle.
