RE: Bowhunting on beaver
I would think you would need something close to a Bowfishing setup... Otherwise I'm sure the beaver would sink and be gone... Might not be that easy considering the effective range on a bowfishing rig, can't be much... Sounds like a pretty good time if you got everything setup right though...

RE: Bowhunting on beaver
I'm also interested in hunting / harvesting a beaver. He is currently ruining the trees around one of my favorite ponds. Are the nocturnal or when would be the best time to watch for him?
What do you do with one once you've harvested him?

I have trapped a many beaver but never thought about hunting them. Bet you would have a ride on your hands with a bow fishing rig if a clean kill were not made. Had one get tangled up in a trout line once and he had taken it all over the place weights and all.
