They are kinda cute until they damn up every crik in the county and flood half of the nearby land. That and they chew some good treestand trees down along those criks. One rat bastard ruined one of my best stands along Yellow Crik in Rothville Co Mo.

When them rascals flooded our deestands every year with their damns the local farmer would "Blow them in place". A term used by ex mil Rangers, which he was. Several pounds of XO and bye bye beaver. The annual fall event was called the White Oak Rd Beaver Launch among the local folks. They kept distance records on how far they found beaver pelts from the launch pad dam.

To suck em in close they would insert a pipe in their dam that was full of holes. Make the dam leak real bad and make that awful sound beavers hate. The sound of Runnin water. Drove the poor little bastards crazy and made them move in close to the dynamite for a clean launch.
