It may have been one of the others you missed in that one but caught in another. That's still impressive.

Great job Keck. Towards the river? Seems to be where they come from down in that area.

Good job,any left? or are you done. Well, the DNR only permitted me for 5, so I'm thinking I will be pulling them tomorrow and the road Department will be out to pull the dam. I'm pretty sure there are more beavers, just hoping I pull enough out to keep them from rebuilding the massive in the triple box culvert.

What's the DNR scared of? They scared you will solve the problem if they turn you loose? A permit for 5? You should explain to them they are causing trouble and need to go. Some how it doesn't make sense to me. But good job on your part.

Some how it doesn't make sense to me. But good job on your part. Well, to be fair, the officer asked me how many beavers I thought were there. I replied, at least 5, figuring a standard 2 adults and 3 juveniles. I did not expect him to put a limit on them. He seemed pretty gung-ho and, awfully, proud of Minnesota's rodent population.

We can trap them year around.

When I lived in NE, I would just call the local Game Warden and let them know I was taking care of some problem beavers near whatever town was closest. They would then thank me for letting them know, in case there was a complaint. Never had a complaint, special permit, or any other kind of problems. I have only met two DNR officers here in MN, outside of the office and both seemed pretty paranoid. Like I couldn't, possibly, be out enjoying the great outdoors without breaking some law or another. Weirdest thing.

If they’re only allowing you to catch some of the beavers causing problems, they’re going to have to get used to having problems.

I guess I never thought about the DNR limiting the number you could take, if they were plugging something that need to be opened, since I don't have to deal with it. Here if someone calls me about beaver, if I want to deal with it, I just load up and go. The only way I get ahold of anyone else is if the beaver are on the neighbors land to get permission from them. It sounds like NE used common sense on it. You can not keep out of fur season beaver in MN if doing damage work, can you? Complaints should go up if fur prices stay like they are.

Correct, all the carcasses were left for the coyotes and eagles. I also have to notify DNR of catches every day and location of carcasses, in case they wish to check it out. Gonna be a short "special season" for me. Two whole days. Oh well, I did find out how out of shape I am and it's supposed to freeze hard tomorrow night.
