Beaver Dam
I have a nusiance beaver dam on my property. They are flooding a waterway which is causing severe damage to my horse pasture. I don't really want to hurt or kill the beaver, but I do want to discourage them. I really would like them to just move on to another location where they will not be causing me any trouble. They are quite industrious little creatures. Simply tearing a section of dam out does no good at all. They will have it rebuilt bigger and better within a day. Does anyone have ideas on what can be done besides the drastic and illegal? If it was the old days, I'm quite sure some TNT would do the trick.
