Awesome catch! Nice on the line pictures too!

6 a day is just about right.Nice haul.

Awesome pictures. This would be a great year to make yourself some fur garments. I just had an otter jacket made, it's warm and comfortable, let me tell you. I think that the next item will be a beaver blanket. You're already half way there.

Figured I would take some pictures as it was fairly warm out. Been kinda thinking about having a vest made for the heck of it.

Sort of a "walk out" freezer situation, eh Boco. Must be nice.

Two questions come to mind:

1) How do you keep mice and other varmints from chewing on your beaver?

2) On the average, about when do you have to have this stockpile of frozen beaver put up before thawing occurs?

Got to my goal of 100 this season Saturday. Time to quite now and home for an early ice out for spring trapping.
Two feet of snow we got is opening runs up and making slush.

This thread looks like what only a trapper .would call fun . It also shows what a service trappers provide often for free to the general public . It would love to spend even a few days doing what you guys did catching that kind of numbers .Great post

Great haul.

great job...we snowshoed in to one yesterday, 16" of ice under all that snow. what a workout! definitely a labor of love

Good Job, nice runs

Darn fun work right there. Something about trapping beavers that makes me happy.

Way to go man.

Now I know where to find a beaver trapper to go south On a real long lining journey. No ice and I'll do all the skinning. LOL

Great job got to love trapping beaver. Actually the put up Is the easy part.

Nuts , you all got to be nuts , lol ! Can’t wait till the thaw so I can join the madness!

I actually enjoy putting up beaver. Something kinda relaxing about it. Really not hard after a guy gets good at it. 16 inches of ice ? Need to find a more active run.
Worked out to 100 beaver in 105 days of trapping.

16" around the feed bed... front door only had 1" , never found another entrance...one of those friend of a guy I know looking to get rid of those beavers...been there 3-4 years. lol...after I set it up, ran into the landowner ,he said he's caught a few here n there.

The Paul Bunyan of beaver trappers, great to see someone catching them when they are worth more!! Spring beaver go bad so fast, coarse, red, and shedding, $7.00 average for spring beaver this year.

I'm up over a 100 this year too Forester, but I tip my hat to you 'cuz all of mine were taken by easy open water trapping out of a boat. Don't know what the casters look like on yours, but my guess is you should get semi decent $$$ for the pelts. Like Wy. Wolfer always says; "there's always a market for the shearable heavies".

Seems only for blanket and up and still at very short money.

Those beaver are at the best now. A year ago I had top price of $19.50 on some, probly same this coming auction? Then u got casters , wasn't it about 7 or 8 years ago , beaver were way up, $50 top, I had 1 on last day , April 15, brought upper $40s or $50

$47 was my best last year for a select heavy 2x. Shipped 106 oz of castor this year. Some of which was from summer nuisance work. Large and up arnt bad. Anything smaller isnt worth it.
Out of 100 this year 46 went large or up.
