Went out to pick up the tractor for servicing yesterday and found we have a new resident in our small pond at the back of our property. Not sure how many beavers there are but most of the trees we wanted to keep have been killed. Never would have guessed there were beavers in the area as I have never seen any sign of them in the 20-years we have lived in Georgia.
Called DNR to see if they had any traps I could use and they said they no longer loaned them out. Trap or shoot it or hired it done was their recommendation it looks like I will be spending a few cold mornings and evenings waiting for a shot.
DNR lady did tell me painting the base of a undamaged tree with latex paint mixed with play sand was a good deterrent which I had never heard before.
Just wanted to rant I guess, just when you think everything is under control nature proves you wrong.
