Actually in most US states it is legal to shoot an animal that is in the act of doing damage to your property, regardless of season or "bag limits" or anything like that. The rules are typically that you must shoot the animal while it is actually being troublesome. So, you couldn't just go hunt down the beavers off your property. But if you shot one while it was getting into your garbage then that would be legal. Furthermore, you are not allowed to take a trophy, or in the case of a furbearer such as a beaver, it's fur. You shoot then you bury it. That's it.
I wouldn't suggest doing so unless you already are bowhunter and your'e confident that you can make a swiftly killing shot. That means knowing where the vitals are on a beaver and being sure you can hit them when the time comes. If you can do that, go for it! If you aren't confident that you can, then call animal control.
