Someone went around our fish and game dept. to the legislature and got night time beaver shooting approved.They want to use thermals/infrared type stuff. My question is, they told them they are calling in the beavers at night. Has anyone in the country ever heard of this? I may be getting out of the loop but I’ve never heard of beaver calling. The dept. is now tasked with establishing a season for them.

put a break in the dam and they will come

If someone could imitate the soft mewing that kits make...maybe get momma.

Do you mean that it isn't already legal to take beaver by any means? And what's this thing called a season?

But seriously, I hate when the legislature just hands off stuff like that to the DNR. Kind of a bad mix of legislative power, where it legally should be, being held and exercised by people ignorant of the actual topic handing off enforcement to appointees, who may or may not be actually qualified or political appointees, who pass it down to employees, govt ones, that actually do have college degrees, liberal ones, in wildlife. Then they turn around and ask us who are in the field daily to sit in on meetings for our "input" to decide something that was already decided in the legislature.

Get seated and ready and toss a good sized rock in the water and they will come to investigate

Open some beaver lure upwind, and they will come.

I would bet it can be done. I have seen video's of the natives in AK calling muskrats in the spring of the year. You can call about any thing if you know what you are doing.
