Mike,

A .22 will work. Even .22LR is not loud. But subsonic .22LR is basically no louder than a pellet rifle. The difference between a .22 subsonic and a .22 pellet is the pellet only weighs 1/2 the LR bullet.

That appears to be a destructive animal. A pest. If it was a rat, or a poisonous snake, you would kill it.

The sure fire way to remove them is with dynamite. Find their "home". Go out and plant a couple sticks in the top of the home. When you climb the home they will run out to see wtf is going on. Go to the shore and wait 20-30 minutes so they go back into the home. Set the dynamite off. Then destroy the dam.

You do need a explosives licence to buy the dynamite and set it off.
Or a large container of tannerite

My Bro-in-law uses "caps", a smaller version .22 round that sounds like a pellet gun.

They are even doing well in the Chihuahua Desert. Found this evidence in Santa Elena Canyon on the Rio Grande in Big Bend National Park.

Inform the beaver that DSW has a sale on shoes this weekend......... and then move while it's gone.

Works every time for me

Typical anti-beaver tools. .

Common natural predators include gray wolves, coyotes, and mountain lions


Use with caution.

Might not be the cheapest way.

How about a pet Wolverine?
I hear they're good for home defense.

ask it to give you an estimate on fixing your roof

Call the USDA. I have had them come out and take care of coytoes and racoons.

Jolly Amaranto 09-13-2014 07:12 PM
Or you could entice it to play in the street. I did not know we even had them in the neighborhood until I found this one as road kill.

My Son has a nice bow - a mis shot that only wounds would bring out the press and John Law. Don't want either here ...

You guys are funny! :).

I'm digging the pellet gun idea.

M.D. Holloway 09-14-2014 04:06 AM
And yes, rats and poisonous snakes and spiders of any kind are not welcome and culled when seen fit.

I have no issues remaining dominate in my enviro provided the killing is just.

Go to town with waders and a shovel.
He will go away, and make a home in a different part of the stream.

That worked with three groundhogs who ate most of my garden in a couple days.
