Sounds good, but what do you do if the stream dries up during a drought?

Or maybe beavers build a dam?

Develop a taste for eating beaver

Or maybe beavers build a dam?

Would it be too gauche to suggest a Hornady SST 130 grains Winchester .270? It does wonders in adjusting a beavers attitude.

Drought might be problematic...but beavers are easily shot.

In the latter case, one's wife gets a new beaver coat for her birthday.

Shoot the beavers?

Drink lots of beer & tinkle on the device - as for the beaver:

Recipe for Monica-bobs from FR's Clinton Legacy Cookbook

Beaver meat
Bacon (thickly sliced)
A few big onions, cut into chunks
Some small yellow and green zuchinis
Red bell pepper, cut into chunks

Small portabella or button mushrooms, stems trimmed
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 can of chunk pineapple
1 C low sodium soy sauce
1/2 C honey
2 teaspoons ginger
4 bay leaves, crushed
5 cloves of garlic, crushed and chopped

For those who don't know, this rodent's meat is similar to beef and can be substituted for it so long as you also add a little extra fat (in this case we're adding bacon), as wild game tends to be very lean and can dry out in cooking. First make sure you remove all traces of exterior fat and any clear or fibrous membrane (silverskin) from the meat using a filet knife. Wash the meat thoroughly and put it in a nonmetallic bowl with a water/baking soda solution in it- soak overnight in the fridge.

To make the marinade, Open the can of pineapple partway and strain the juice into a bowl; open the can the rest of the way and dump the pineapple chunks into a ziploc bag for later.

To the pineapple juice add the soy sauce, honey, chopped onion, ginger, bay leaves and garlic. Stir thoroughly.

Take the meat out and rinse, then cut the meat into 1 inch cubes, and dump it into the marinade.

Marinate in the fridge for a few hours or until you finally get over the thought of eating a giant rodent, then right before grilling take the meat out and wrap each chunk in a bit of bacon. Start stringing the meat onto shish-ka-bob skewers, making sure the bacon is securely fastened and alternating meat with the vegetables and pineapple.

Grill on low heat until the meat starts firming up and the bacon crisps; do not overcook.
