Wonder if i am the only one on this forum running a trap line...Wonder if I’m the only gamekeeper here too..Beaver is a very strange looking animal that does lots of damage.

My Dad used to blow up beaver dams with dynomite. Otherwise half his land would have been under water.

Rest easy. You’re not the only varmit trapper nearby. But this is reminding me of John Jacob Astor who made his fortune selling beaver hats to Englishmen. So many they named Astoria , Oregon after him. But he should have made one into a life jacket since he went down with the Titanic. Some folks think sinking the Titanic was Beavers’ revenge?

Dam beavers!

They damage trees for timber harvest and back up streams into low farmland.
Pain in the ass.
Dam beavers!
