[QUOTE="Tnwhip, post: 1000379, member: 32195"] It is that time of the year again. The beavers come up the creek bank and eat my crops. I try and stay on top of them but this year I slacked up and let them eat about 1/2 acre of my soy beans. I have been checking but not in the very back of the field for the last two weeks. My 4 wheeler had a broken wire some where in the harness and I just got around to fixing it. I got lazy and didn't want to walk the 1/2 mile to the back 40. I finally got the 4 wheeler fixed and saw the damage they had done. The creek bank is 20 to 25 ' high. I set up over looking the creek that evening and one came out and I shot him in the head with my 22 mag. He sunk. The next day I went back and carried some snares and set the trails where they come in and out of the creek. After that I set up in the same place I shot the other one and right before dark. I mean 2 more minutes and I would not have been able to see the cross hairs, and here comes one. I popped him and he sunk. The next day I went back and had one in a snare. After shooting him with the 22 pistol, I sat around till dark but nothing showed up. I took the snared beaver and took him back down the field about 300 yards and wired him to a over hanging limb to tease the coyotes and in a few days I may try calling one up. Here are some pictures of the damage to my field, creek and the beaver in the snare.
