Sprinkle green and gold around the house and burn Gary Payton's picture over 4 green and gold candles. Final step. Write Benny upside down and backwards on a sheet of paper. Wrap sage in paper and light on fire. Waft burning benny sage around all openings and vents. Should be good to go.

Just got a new stretch of creek to take guided fishing trips.

Good water, except most of it is dammed up by brown furry rodents.

I wanna get rid of em.

You'll have to use fully submerged conibear sets, but you'll need a fur bearers trapping license and the fur trapping season usually ends in February.

this creek is already among the most vulnerable in the state, with unnaturally low flows creating unnaturally high temps. Thanks, Denver.

From a conservation standpoint, I think restoring the stream to narrow flowing channels instead of broad slow pond water will help.

From a commercial guide standpoint, I want somewhere to take y’all to catch a trout, and a moving stream is better for that than a broad clear pond.

Beavers are related to gophers, they're the same order.

Go watch Caddyshack, you are gonna loose. If Bill Murray can't get rid of a gopher, there's no way your ass is gonna get rid of a beaver.
