Hunting beaver will vary from state to state. They are not normally considered a game animal, but a fur bearer. In addition many states actually allow killing of what may otherwise be game animals if they are destroying your property. For example in Louisisana, beaver will "bark" pine trees, worth anywhere from $50-200 a tree. At one or two trees a week, this begins to add up to money. Check your game laws and then tallk to game warden and/or sheriff about your particular situation.
I recommend 12 gage with buckshot or deer rifle. If your shooting over water, the shotgun is a safer bet due to the possibility of bullet skipping.
