[AT] mice & coons

[charlie hill]

I knew a guy (who has since died) who owned vast amounts of timber lands. 
He had terrible problems with beaver dams flooding land and destroying 
timber.  He told me once that he paid a guy with a big track excavator a 
bunch of money to tear out a beaver dam.  By the end of the following 
weekend the beavers had the dam rebuilt.

The only way to stop them is to kill them.  Dynamite will work if you set 
the charge on top of the beavers as well as the dam.
