Bitterroot river has alot of beaver along it but most is private. Missouri river also has a ton of beaver and lots if runs through BLM land.

Higher in the mountains there is a valley.
It is guarded fiercely by the Blackfeet
for there are beaver there...
...as many as the stars in the sky.

So the legend goes..

With beaver market depressed for so long there are probably beaver just about anywhere there is water and edible trees.
The Lewistown area (Fergus county) with all the small streams that are choked with willows would keep a guy skinning far into the night.

He was not asking if it was legal or not, just asking where the heaviest populations are

I'm not religious but there's a good quote from the bible: Before you point out the stick in your brother's eye, take the plank out of yours.
