Finally got my first Beaver, and I am almost 60.

We have had two beavers having their way with our trees up and down our stream and ponds the last few weeks and I was hoping they would go away with me bugging them, but no ...... they decided to start creating a brush pile in the middle of a pond for the winter, so they had to go. Taken with an S510 xtra .25 cal to back of head. 20 yards. I mainly purchased the Air Arms for eliminating pests on the farm (ground hogs, racoons, skunk, porcupine, etc) but certainly enjoy the target shooting aspect with the .25 cal.

Nice shooting.
He still has a menacing looking in his eye .
Will you eat it ?

I gave it to a friend that skins and sells pelts, get around $100 for a beaver, and uses the meat. https://i.imgsafe.org/026896e415.jpg

For a second there, I thought it might be a personal problem? Never ate a furry beaver (no, not that one!)...aw, maybe I better quit while I'm ahead?...
