PORT ORCHARD, Wash. – A road crew has had it with a beaver that persists in building a dam under a bridge.
Since August, crews have removed a beaver dam three times near Port Orchard, on the west side of Puget Sound. One was as large as 40 feet long and 3 feet high.
Kitsap County Roads Superintendent Jacques Dean told KOMO-TV that he appreciated how industrious the animals are, but the water threatened to undermine bridge abutments.
The county decided to spend $15,000 to hire a beaver trapper.

I heard they were going to dispatch the beaver with a .22LR. But, after almost two years of being unable to find any .22LR ammunition they chose to hire the trapper instead :chuckle::chuckle:
