Take your 22 rifle and when he gets close put when between the eyes, problem solved and not alot of noise.

It may be he is just trying to be friendly.

I tell you what, there is nothing that will make your heart skip a beat more than a beaver busting you at night while striper fishing. It's the ones you don't see that will rattle your nerves. As for your pest problem, I would check local regs on what you can and can't do. Rooster would like nothing more than to take some of your hard earned money because you killed it out of season or some such nonsense.

Hit the plug like a ton of bricks and pulled the drag pretty well! "Ok, thats weird" "What", "Its on the bank", "You mean up shallow", "No, I mean on the bank, like 20 feet up into the woods!". yeah, that was a weird night :eek:

Why not just let it be. Remember your in it's house, How would you like it if this beaver came to your house, Knocked on your door, then shot you with a AR 15. That would really blow would it not..

Think I agree with Fishunter. Yes, I've encoutered beaver on the Ohio river and on Lake Cumberland, and as always, I've appreciated and enjoying viewing firshand the diversity of wildlife whe have in Kentucky. Hope my grandchildren get the same opportunity. So, hey...he (the beaver) gave you a BAD LOOK... Think about sharing a fish or two with him and you just might become BEST FRIENDS. Take along a CAMERA, and capature a few photo's to share with the family.
Best to You and the Beaver...Keep on Fishing...but as Fishunter pointed out, rember, you are in his house.
