Until you have a bear want the beaver you are holding,,you haven't lived.And when that happens to you---you may want to have a spare pair of shorts with you. That is--if you are the one that keeps the beaver. And I have experienced this and lived to tell about it.But I made one change after this happened,I never shut the 4 wheeler off,when checking this spot. Tom

And that's why every beaver needs to wind up under water after it gets caught.

I did skin the beaver.Les ,I had taken the beaver out of the trap and was hauling it up out of the pond when the bear came. Now I sing when approaching some of my sets,I want to let bears know I am coming and give them a chance to get gone.never did have a bear eat one of my beaver. Tom

Now I sing when approaching some of my sets,I want to let bears know I am coming and give them a chance to get gone.never did have a bear eat one of my beaver. Tom Tom this is how I handled the situation; I just bet with the Grad student if it was over 30 pounds he would haul it out on todays run. Sure glad I have a tail for Paul's challenge for next years Beaver Tail contest. He was sure glad I did not set more than one trap there. What is? or Why is the beavers weight always; co-related to an inverse proportion formular to square of the route back to your vehicle times pi -r2 compounded by beaver stump willow chi squared. I should have listened to Les advise about find beaver runs in peatmoss and the short end of a fencepost with the knee cap the day before.

Looks like you got a new camera,Les. Good haul and great pics. New iPhone 8, to be exact. I had to put the pics on my computer and resize them to get them on here.

Hey trapper les can I steal your title for a Muskrat411 video? My title was a play on words of the title for a play called "The Vagina Monologues", so...use your own judgment, lol.

Thing about early spring trapping in the Northcountry is the air temps can be like 60-70 degrees and the water is around 32.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
