I hunt in a pine plantation and while I was there fishing last weekend I noticed we have beavers. I've been hunting there for 5 years and have never seen one.
While I don't usually like to kill animals that I won't eat, I know we don't want them on this property and could already see quite a lot of damage around the pond to the pines.
We ended up seeing him while we were fishing and he was a real pretty blonde color so it got me thinking: maybe I'd like to harvest it and get the hide tanned.
What's the best way to get this beaver? Hang out at the pond all day and wait for a shot? Trap it? From what I've read they do most of their work at night?
Any input from the beaver experts is welcome!
