    Trap the beaver and sell the fur. Around here beavers furs go for about $40.00

    That seems...awful.


    And awful low for a high quality beaver fur.

    As beavers are wont to do. I guess you need to ask yourself, is it worth changing everything to have a little beaver around? Sounds to me like you're dammed if you do and damned if you don't.

    To a hunter it isn't awful.

    I suppose not.

    So how do you propose I go about trapping this beaver? I've never tried to full on trap one, though I did try to pet one once. That didn't end as well as you might expect.

    I hear lobster works well. Failing that something shiny will usually do the trick.

    A man's propensity to grow fond of a beaver will always lead to the demise of his stout wood. It's just the way life is. Accept it.

    You win the internetz.

    Beaver needs to be brought down by your tree. Show the beaver who is boss.

    Those dam beavers can really bring a man to his knees. I think that you may lose this battle, my friend. Beavers are mighty powerful forces.

    YESSS

    Eat it, then shoot it. Could be too salty if you shoot it first.
