    Any beaver trappers in the area? A friend has a beaver problem. I have tried to hunt them at night, but limited success.

    Break open a reasonable size hole in the dam so the water level will fall substantially and retry your hunting. They will be there quickly to try to repair the hole.

    youtube has quite a few videos. I have been doing some research myself as they are starting to be a real PITA on the stream running through my property. Drowner rigs look like a possible option for me.

    May want to re-read the DNR beaver regs and then say on a public forum what you ACTUALLY did instead of hunting beaver, presumably with a weapon.. At night.

    (Whats the opposite of "asking for a friend"? Telling because im your your friend?) Asking for a friend.......

    Man, i don't have any reason to say anything to the contrary. I am very serious, I am asking for a real friend. I don't have the time to worry about it, i just thought their might be a person who seeks out beavers.

    Any dnr is very open to call me. Pm me or whatever.

    Contrary to what you think, most sportsmen are law abiding. If you have a guilty conscience, thats your issue. I myself would love to have this guys 200 acres to have a beaver problem

    I thought it was against the law to destroy a beaver dam. Anyone know if that is true?

    You will need a permit to take care of the problem or hire a control operator. Beavers are only allowed to be trapped in Maryland. This time of the year the pelts are worthless. Getting someone to handle the problem will be expensive. You might be able to find someone when the trapping season opens to do it for less or maybe for the hide.
