been a while since i've been on the forum - this is a good (and fun) thread.
i hate to be the pessimist.......... but if you have beaver(s) in your pond currently, you will never get rid of 'em. i trapped 4 the first year i declared war on 'em, and shot 4 more last year, but i've spent A LOT of time and effort "hunting beavers".....and they never go away for good.
sure i've killed "the last one" many times, but within a few months a new one will move in and set up shop. i've spent the last few months cutting and spraying every willow tree around the pond to try to dissuade 'em from coming back, but i'm not very optimistic it'll work.
