I always worry when I post about having to get rid of opossums or armadillos. We've lost two chickens already this year to the stupid opossums, not to mention they can give EPM to horses, so I kill any of them I can catch. <br /><br />That beaver is really cool. I liked seeing the pictures. I've never seen one up close so it was interesting to see them. :) Maggie should be proud. What a feat hauling that guy ashore.Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645454613980668198.post-17713413397724462632011-03-01T16:31:24.940-06:002011-03-01T16:31:24.940-06:00I've never seen a beaver up close.

It's a shame that you had to kill them, but it was necessary. <br />You certainly were nicely decked out. Is that your usual hunting gear? So casual in your night gown and slippers. You must dress for the occasion the next time.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645454613980668198.post-21339047567756143812011-02-28T22:32:52.906-06:002011-02-28T22:32:52.906-06:00Yeah for Maggie Mae what a great helper!

So cool!<br />Very unfortunate for the critter, but, like you said, some decisions are tough, but must be made for the livelihood and safety of all.<br /><br />Will you be skinning the beavers and using their fur? Would be neat to make a pillow out of their fur. Those tails and feet are so coll close up, too. What does the tail feel like? Leather? Rubber? Smooth? Rough?<br /><br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645454613980668198.post-1032605716533264022011-02-28T16:25:13.166-06:002011-02-28T16:25:13.166-06:00Sometimes it can't be helped, can it?

I know what you mean we had alot of ground hogs move into our fields and as much as we hated to we had to get rid of them as they were causing to many holes and we didnt want any of our animals to get cought in them and break their legs. Farming has its goods and bads but thats just the way it is ! Have a great day !

Well, I don't like killing of any kind, but I understand that you have to do what you have to do. It was better for everyone.

But, I've also seen the deforestation they cause in making them. I had never really thought about the water issue, however.
