My new beaver killer

[cearick]

Killed two last night
The pic with my foot is with the male. I didn't go back to get him till morning. The other is the female. When I got her he tried to come at me. Had to fire my rifle at him from about 3 feet as the rifle was hanging of my back. Took a hour for him to come back and was able to get a clean head shot. The last pic is a look through my thermal .I was waiting this time to make sire no others came up. The beaver started cooling off but you could still see the blood coming out the wound.

Rifle is a 300 blackout shooting subs.
10.5 in barrel with one of my older steel 308 cans. Thermal is a armasight 1.5 to 12 power 640 core. Love this scope.

It'll work on hogs. I wouldn't use a bolt gun hunting hogs at night. Too many potential missed opportunities if you get in a nice size sounder.

I take it they're angry little suckers?

 

[cearick]

Thanks. Can I use the subs or switch up to the 150gr supers

 

[cearick]

He about scared the **** out of me. I've heard they can break a leg with that tail.

You will do best under 100 yds with the subs. Set up your kill zone for that and you will be fine.

For distant sniping at night, you want the supers.

I've been standing waste deep in beaver swamps before daylight and had them slapping their tails on the water near me. Never had one come at me but it gets the adrenaline going especially in all that dark and quiet.

Great eating right there.....

And yes I'm serious. Beaver is some of the best wild game there is. Better than venison by far.
