I would like to share, at this point, what a tranquil and paralyzing effect this sort of work has on my body. Today, now, after yesterday, I can barely move, and coffee has never tasted better. I look forward to a good dose of ibuphofen too.

You're wackin' and stackin' though! Good show, great info on the how to. Thanks for sharing! Love the pics!

Les, you da man. Keep it up

Nice haul les

I have the coffee and ibuprofen Les.

Lol. Nice haul, les.

You think beavering hurts.....Try digging clams....I couldn’t move for 2 days...but they both hurt more now.

I would go clam digging if I was in the right place at the right time.

Picked up another 2 beaver this afternoon, but just checked one are with 5 traps there on 5 miles of ditch. Not far from there...in the next 10 miles, I set up several flowages with another 10 traps, as the snow has melted and the roads are just passable now. I have about 40 traps out, and need to move 5 of them out.

Nice country! Looks exactly the same as the stuff I trap through.

A guy that's not shy of hard work!!

I would start the day with some ibu so you're not trying to catch up with the pain later. If ibu doesn't give you any stomach issues, the big one is gi bleeds, you can do 3 800mg or 4 600 mg dosages a day (otc ibu is 200 mg each) or at least that was the old recommendation. You can also go in between with extra strength tylenol (acetaminophen), just keep that at 4 grams or less a day (also old recommendations, don't if they've changed). Back off the tylenol or drop that altogether if you're drinking much, bad juju with tylenol and alcohol or any other liver problems.

No drinking here, lol. I notice that from setting traps, or something, I can hardly make a fist right now, but , in a day or two, I'm going to quick skin a pile of beaver, on a day I don't check traps.

Way to go Les,been waiting for this thread.

Thank you. I think I will make this.

All that work for $50 worth of fur. Wish Beaver prices didn't suck so bad.

basher fits--les makes way more than 50 bucks on those between castor and hides.if you are lookin to get rich,it aint the 70's anymore.take up knitting and craft shows.

LOL. I have a pile to skin, and I'll skin today. I can check every 3rd day, I don't know if I can haul that many though. Some places I set were too early, nothing moving yet. I just want 2 year old beaver in I can do it. They are worth the most money for the time spent skinning and boarding and catch just the same.

I don't know if my little truck can handle a 75% catch day, as that is twice as many as the last pickup load. There was just 15 there. I'm just ramping up now.

Great job,Les,if I was closer I would give you a hand.Our NY season closed 4/7/2019.

Good luck les. Nice pics

Way to go buddy! Stay healthy my friend!

Chris

Nice job Les!
