It's not surprising how many beavers, coons, muskrats, coyotes, etc. are out there these days. Trapping and hunting for these creatures all but stopped when the bleeding hearts PETA folks started taking the bottom of the fur business. Now these animals are on the brink of being a huge problem. Hopefully fur prices get a little better to help you guys out.
Last year we brought in animal control folks to remove a family of raccoons that decided to take up residence in our attic! I was on patrol every night for two weeks and couldn't get a shot on the obviously pregnant female. After she gave birth and hearing the newborns cooing away up there that was when we called for assistance.
