If the weather pattern holds, no floods, theirs a place that's good on the Arkansas that is usually good for a few about a 1/4 mile from the house. As for the beaver Saturday, got some ditch dwellers that need to go.

Daughter took picture of a tail a couple weeks ago but you cannot see the hind end of the beaver SOOOOO is this tail eligible? Didn't do length. Hiya ratbrain! we run a friendly competition here. I'll allow the entry but please, give us some more inclusive pictures on the next entry. Happy trapping!

I've been in the competition before, this one came out of a gravel pit overflow!

AJE I live in oregon and we are in a battle with the anti groups over beaver trapping. They have tried outlawing it twice with in a years time. So I really don't care to have a picture of myself posted to the top of trapper talk for the next couple months. Besides I trust you and the rest of the t-man regulars to be an honest participant in this friendly contest. Besides you can see my hands holding the tape measure anyways. Now let's see this hog of a beaver you got to post. I'm closer to Portland. I have more to worry about then you do and I still posted pictures of me. Stop being a so scared you are letting them win

Updated Standings. Keep it up lads! Bit of housekeeping: - please provide measurements for me or I'm taking my best guess from the image. - looks like 13" is going to be a close one for the length category, if you get up in that range make sure it's clear in the pic please.

Width 7 3/4" or so. 2nd toad in as many days at the same set. Rig, location, and construction of the set was all the work of my 13 year old son and Backbreaker. Proud Pops moment for sure.
