Dynamite. Bang they are gone.
Yeah.....along with everything else!

Actually, I like beavers.....they make some of the best duck hunting habitat one could ask for Be that as it may, I realize some folks don't care for them, esp. when flooded crop fields are an issue.
Here in MI I believe most of the season is later in the fall & winter, which means ice. I've never trapped them, but from what I understand most folks who do find a 'run' and set a 330 conibear in the area along with some beaver castor scent. I've found a few of these 'runs' by accident while duck hunting....fastest way I know of to go from walking to swimming!
Also, check out some of the videos on Youtube....there is a wealth of information there and I've picked up some good tips that I plan to use this fall.
Good luck................
