Title: Bolt gun
Post by: fast60eddie on March 27, 2019, 07:43:21 PM: I am not sure if the link will open. Has anyone had or used a bolt gun on live trapped Beavers?

That bolt gun is made for poultry. Also it takes a compressor that can produce 80PSI.
So downsides:
I doubt it would handle a beaver or probably any mammal.
You have to be tethered to a compressor.
It costs $900.

Wildlife Control Supplies in Canada sells a captive bolt gun that is powered by 380 caliber blanks. They come in several power levels. I use them for euthanizing beaver and other similar sized mammals. Work fine and no loud report.
