Any chance you live close to the pond?

Rats are easy pickings with a 22 right at dawn. Just look for a different dark lump on the shore line.

Beaver on the other hand can be picked off in the evening right at sun set. I have had the best luck then for them.

They are creatures of habit too. Learn their habits and they are easy picking.
