shooting is effective!

I hate to be this guy, but beavers can be successfully shot. We do it every spring and fall up here in AK. We use scoped .22 or .22 magnums. .17 HMR is also a good round. We shoot them as they swim with one shot to the head. It takes a little practice, but can be very deadly. We killed 27 in 8 hours last May.
