Beaver Behaviour Question

[byronick87]

Hey beautiful people,

I have a pond in my back yard and it recently came to light that there is a family of beavers making a mess down there.

I broke the dam last night and I managed to shoot one of the adults - I think.

I went down there again last night and the babies were trying to repair the dam.

my questions are:
will the other adult beaver stick around? how much time do I have to hunt the mate?
If I am successful, who in the Calgary area would like to the carcasses; free and up for grabs.

Thanks for the help

B
