It is time for the 2nd Annual Trapperman beavertail challenge! I played secretary last year and traded some messages w/ Hutchy this year. He's busier than snot so we're going to keep this gem he started going. The rules are easy. Post a picture of the biggest beavertail on a beaver you have caught THIS YEAR, and if you have the WIDEST beaver tail by the LAST DAY IN FEBRUARY, you win. A simple picture of the tail, with a tape measure across it, along with a picture of you and the beaver will do. Please make sure the measurement picture is clear, and accurate. Tail only submissions won’t count. I'll post updated standings from the thread submissions periodically so we won't have to hunt through. Multiple entries allowed. Prizes - 1 anonymous donor is putting up 2 $50 gift cards, Trapset is donating an RTS setter and I'll purchase the Dobbins products - 1st Place - $50 F&T Gift card (fntpost.com) & your selection of any two 4oz bottles of Dobbins products
- Random Drawing #1 - $50 F&T Gift card (fntpost.com) & your selection of any two 4oz bottles of Dobbins products.
- Random Drawing #2 - RTS Setter (rtssetter.com)
No matter the size – send it in! Had some possum sneakers last year so only beaver tail submissions will count Happy trapping and good luck!

Dang! Skunt one yesterday with a tail that would have been competitive. Actually thought when I got her out of the snare, she would have done well in last years contest. Have more to catch though so maybe I'll get a competitor.

I didn't think there was a limit on how many times you could enter, last year. A fella never knows what his next Beaver tail might look like. Hi Don - Multiple entries allowed

Timber hole - I need a tape measure picture to count the 2nd one, sorry. J Staton - I saved the pic, reversed it and blew it up, are we looking at 6-3/4 or 6-13/16? Nice catches to all so far! Current standings:

A bit grainy. Go with the lower to be fair, I'll try to catch a bigger one. I'll shoot for the smallest about March. Hope y'all boys ain't squeamish.

id say that last one is 6 1/4 inches by looking how tape is held, not 7 inches I'm on the lookout for those but on this one I'm ok with the submitted measurement. Reasoning: you can tell it's because his finger is holding down the right side for the close-up. With the center hump of the tail it pushes the other end of the tape measure up, should that be flattened there it'd be where it needs to. We all only have two hands while we're out on the line and I don't want to start nickle & diming folks for a fun, benefit of the doubt t-man contest. That said - if it's egregious we can call it out. Nice catch varmintshooter!

The biggest tail I saved from this fall is 6 1/8" in width, but 13 3/4" long. My beavers must just have skinny tails! You don't let any of them grow up Mike. You got to let them get more than a yearling size before you catch them.

I will be out of town until 1/15 with no internet, but if you drop me a PM with your email address or phone, whichever is best, we can connect then and I'll post pics for those who need it. Without further adieu - posting for MB Coonguy. “82 lb beaver-this is my biggest beaver I have caught-next biggest was 71 lbs. It was caught way out on the marsh-lived in a bullrush lodge-no trees for miles”

Lol Mike...coincidentally I snagged a medium beaver in a #1 1/2 coil yesterday set for mink....yep it had one of your Wild River pans on it. Thanks for a quality product. No way to dig a pocket without attracting the local beaver. That fresh smell of mud and any disturbance has their curiosity peaked.

Updated standings. Good work all. Quick note - instead of ending 3/31 I'm going to end the contest 2/28. Guess I Understand But Some Of Us Have More Open Water Til The End Of March Yeah, All Of The Bigtailed Supertoads Go On The Prowl During MARCH Spring Breakup Here In Northern New York So Now I'll Never Be Able To Trap A Contender. w

Use of a chainsaw??? At the 1/9 FHA sale Eastern beaver avg. $12.05. Deduct commission nets about $10.80 for put up. Use of a chainsaw??? I’m cutting and selling firewood. LOL- not quite the same thing-beaver trapping isn't for money unless you are nuicanse trapping.It is definitely fun to get out in the outdoors-no money to be made fur trapping beavers

OK, Finally had a nice day out today so we got the fur out of the freezer and sold everything to Groeny. The boys and I would like to submit three entries to this contest. Beaver #1, Noah caught it late December. Here is pic in the field of this beaver... Here is same beaver #1 now in back of truck brushed up and ready for sale. Those are all XXL and larger, December caught coons behind it. Beaver #1 tail and tape...thing had a lot of notches in it. Hey, holding the tape with one hand and taking picture with the other isn't very easy. Sorry for the shadows! Here is beaver #2 and beaver #3, let's call them. Both were whoppers. Took them out of freezer and they are wet from when we washed them down and hadn't dried yet. smaller one on left is still North of 50 pounds. Beaver #2 with tail tape, this is the smaller one of two... Beaver #3 with tail tape, the larger one of these two... Thanks for letting us participate! FYI, we received $12 each for these three today, carcass prices. Jim, Noah, and Gunner

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

All three of ours were caster mounds guarded with snares. Rebar stakes with #9 wire supports and coil whammys. We just used loaded 1/19 5/64" fast snares. Jim

How about the longest tail contest? I got a 70 pounder with a 7.5 wide by 15.5 long. Not bad for a southern beav. Sarge

Always looking for reloading componets
I know a beaver or two, because I've seen a beaver or two

Nice job all! Sure are some big tails out there. Must be all in the genetics.
I've not seen a tail that made it 7.5 inches here, and that's including multiple 65 lb. plus beavers.
Some people refuse to see the truth when you bludgeon them over the head with it.

Updated Standings, very strong entries fellas. Keep slogging it out, 16 days left. In the spirit of the Olympics - come on boys - a Canadian has us beat by 1/4 inch. Trapperalex - send me a pm, would like to get you entered but can't see your pics SGT. C - nice work! can you post a picture for the entry please? I thought about longest but it's that much harder to get a pic w/ only 2 hands and the whole thing in the frame. Then there's the finicky hair line issue, just easiest and simplest for everyone going width. I didn't want it to turn into a - he measured from the wrong spot thread.

Here's another: 52# female, I see 6 and 9/16" (maybe 5/8...). Solid middle of the pack beaver tail. Still looking for one over 8". Maybe on the next check...

Just getting to my beaver properties and first ones in the water Monday morn. Nothing quite like pulling up that drowning rod and hoping for a fat tail for the contest! Way to stick it out arrowsmith - them cheeks look like it was 5deg! I was checking this morning and one trap had disappeared from its choke point on a fast moving creek and my heart sank. I always stake for otter. Always. Suddenly it became clear why I had an extra trap stake yesterday morning Perfect behind the neck catch waitin on me at the first turn of the creek.

Good luck to all tomorrow morning on the last check before the contest closes!
If anyone knows Rick Tischaefer - can you please get in touch, I need a measurement on that bad boy he quietly threw down w/ a picture. I can't zoom in on the picture without it becoming unreadable.

I'll second the 8 1/4. When you zoom in you can see that it is approximately 1/4 of the distance between the two numbers, which can be seen to be 8 and 9. Maybe just shy...but darn close. For whatever that is worth..

Looks like 8 and a quarter to me too. Nice tail! Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
