A 1 Carat diamond usually works.
I think that is the trap they use on us. And we buy it everytime!

Contact USDA Predator control In OKC . Should be able to tell you what you need. Or will send an agent out to do it for you
My grandfather had a couple of beavers in his pond. I believe he contacted the OSU Ag Ext and they came out killed them. It didn't cost him a penny.

Someof us learn after 7 or 8 times.

That made my day!!
I like to use #4 buckshot in a 12 ga. Never use a .22 lr. Not enough gun. You should see a fat old guy running backward and reloading a single shot .22 while being charged, albeit somewhat slowly, by a wounded male beaver that I estimated to weigh over 50 pounds. Later, the female died from one well placed shot to the head at about 40 yards. The male shrugged off a much closer shot to the same spot on his head.
After that, I went to the #4 buck. One shot, one dead critter. After dark, a boat and a bright light work well. They will often swim right alongside you. CB

The time to shoot a beaver, is right at dark. A scout beaver will come out in the pond, and make a circle. When he gets back, the others will come out. It may be too dark to shoot legally when they all get out, so shoot the scout, and keep after them.
In a creek, I don't know what they will do. Never had to go there yet.
If they have a dam, partly break it, causing a leak maybe six inches deep. They'll detect it, and regardless of the time, somebody will come to fix it. I usually sat on a bucket above the breeched dam with a 12 ga. Easy kill. CB
My area, I have a low water slough that only holds water when its wet.
The beaver put up a dam in the narrow part, so I busted it with the tractor, and tried that.
come to find out the den is 1/4 mile away. Walked the slough with waders and couldn't ever find the den until driving past it on a county road.
I have his skull on my bench. I have a new one in this year. Saw a cottonwood down the other day, and found the old den is now the new den.
I'd like to take the conibear class and get certified, so I can get him without me being there. My place is 45 miles from home.
