i have made a few batches of mead, beer, cider and wine (plus vinegar). am far far from a expert. but its great hobby. i make it from extra honey we have after the run is over.
well depends on province or state to be honest.
here in Saskatchewan any predator that endangers you or your live stock can be shot and killed, coyotes and coons are open season here.
plus the fur of lots of predators can be sold (if you have a trapping license follow all rules and regs us...
i a standard fence one for coyotes and coons around my coop. so far so good with them it will not stop weasels, minks, rabbits or squirrels.
i use two for my bees up north, (one around bees and the other around it and the garden near by) so far stops bears pretty good, how ever elk and deer...
No problem, sorry to hear about the loss.
yes weasels are really bad, am a trapper who catches a few each winter (along with raccoons), i always try and tell people to use a method that should avoid un-wanted damage to wild life, us trappers get a bad rap from the anti crowd more then...
Not to be that guy, but beaver hides are going for like 30 USD (40 CAD) each for 30 beavers and a sack of grain could get you something pretty nice haha.
please don't poison the weasel, you don't know what will get into the poison or what will eat the dead animal effected by said poison.
i would use weasel boxes with a rat trap.
