Why would you want to wipe them out? I thought Oregon science had figured out they are vitally important for protecting and improving water quality.

If they get freezeup there wiping out the beaver drainage by drainage would accomplish the job in a few seasons with enough trappers with under ice skills.
Its not that big of a place either compared to here..
If you look on google earth there are lots of dead ponds on each drainage where the beavers are with lots of ruined habitat that can no longer support beavers-looks like the game preserves here where no trapping is allowed.Dead pond after dead pond with lots of degraded habitat.
i think their problem is not enough if any professional beaver trappers.
Introducing a few wolves would also help the balance if they dont want to pay trappers.

We are told mtn. men with 5 longspring traps, a mule and a horse eradicated them off the entire continent, lol. Just imagine the damage they could of done if they had 330's! lol.

Releasing another invasive species to control another invasive species…….
Not smart.

HA! Good one. Of course we are talking about beavers about 8,000 miles south of Oregon though right?

This

We managed to knock them back pretty hard with fewer people and 18th century tech over a much larger area awhile back due to enough pay being available.

Imagine the Castors

Paul would have to make a new line of beaver lure Patagonia plus

Instead of sweet gum it would be Beech flavored.

But in all honesty, who among us as beaver trappers wouldn't like to get our hands on some SA castor and give it a sniff?
