This is a few miles from me. I don’t doubt it’s a big beaver
But I wonder if the scale was off a little.
My brother in-law actually owns that same feed mill now
Either way pretty neat.

If Pa paw standing there is 165 plus , then the beaver could easily be 120lb

Looks like his arm holding the beaver is fully outstretched. So the beaver is considerably closer to the camera than Walter.

Maybe they weighed it on the scale they use to dish out goods to the customer, not the scale they use when buying goods wink

It's hanging from a rope, he's just holding a leg. Wonder what trap he used.

Not a bad use of lighting either. Sure is a shiny beaver. Maybe Armor All.

That pic has been shown here before. Wonder what year it was trapped? From his style of dress it looks to be from a long time ago.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Yea seen this one debated here before. As far as the way he's dressed don't all old men have those same clothes that they've had for forty years?

I think that still stands as the world record for beaver.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

That beaver just makes a lot of trappers jealous.
