Nice beaver. Castor mounds sets are great.

Good job!! Did you catch it on the edge of a park...? I'm surprised you have open water like that this time of year.

I got him on the edge of the Black River, its goes back and forth between ice and open water. I didn't weigh him, don't have a game scale but I'd say 50 pounds wouldn't be a stretch. Carried him out just shy of 2 miles in a pack so going by that he weighed about 800 pounds. Big state game area with no ORV's allowed on any of it so have to walk or float it.

Nice beaver, I'm hoping to see something like that tomorrow morning.


Keep your boots dry and your powder too.

I remember when a fur check was reality.....now I'm just trapping for the love of it.

Best Regards,

JT

Now get it tanned...and get a hat made.
