Thanks for the responses. The last posts was the type of information
that I was looking for. I will post results (what was used and how
much). Again, thanks.
is commonly used for this purpose. Tie the charge to a 2x4 and stick it
into the mud on the upstream side of the dam so that the cartridge is
at the bottom. The water will do a great job of tamping the charge.
This will blow a hole about 15 to 20 feet wide in the dam down to the
stream bed. It won't be too loud and it will not throw debris very far
because of the water. If you hide upstream you are particularly safe
from flying debris. After experimenting with this you may decide you
want to use a bigger charge.
The beaver lodge has a hole where they breathe and you can usually get
it open enough to stick a charge down to shelf where they live. This
shelf is above water so the resulting blast will throw debris quite far
and will be loud. There will only be a smoking crater in the water
where the lodge was.
Of course they will start rebuilding the whole thing as soon as you're
done so you might want to trap or shoot them when you're done. In most
places there is someone that will come and trap them

I have been requested to help a friend get rid of a large beaver dam
(about 100 ft long, 5 Ft wide at the base and 4 feet tall. I have a
BATF high explosive license. Can someone give me some guidance on 1)
what is the best type of explosive to use ie; dynamite 2) the amount
to use per shot 3) spacing of shot pattern and 4) how to keep the
charge dry before detonation. Thanks.
