I use a sled, but I generally am fairly close to the truck and it is flat as Saskatchewan in this part of Ontario LOL... the closest thing we have to hills is the ditch banks (which can be 15' and very steep)

The sled is also great for hauling gear in/out

Usually a big deep sled...sometimes the sled bungie corded to a 2 wheel deer cart. I have used a cooler float

You have to slit them up the belly to skin so first thing I do is make about a 6 inch cut and pull out the guts. I swear about half a beavers weight is guts! Makes them much lighter to carry.

I made carrying straps from seat belt material with a cable loop on each end that went over a front and hind foot. I could carry two beaver out at once, one on each shoulder when I was young and dumber.

makes sense it seems to make deer much lighter.

Back foot in one hand, Front foot on the same side in the other,
slung over the back of my shoulders behind my head.

You have to not mind beaver cooties crawling down your shirt though !!!

Or, having you wife threaten to make you sleep outside until your neck stops smelling like castor! Make sure you carry them belly out when you carry them that way. I only made that mistake once.

Watched a video on the cree indians and they hammered a piece of wood in the nostrils and used string or twine to drag them out. It was on snow of course but it looked easier than carrying them out.

Ski doo snow sled

Two foot dog choke chain. One end on front foot and the other end on the back foot. Toss the chain over your shoulder and you can carry out two at a time and still have your hands free. Real good for carrying out of the water and or swamp. Then maybe switch to sleds or deer carts..

I usually get maybe 1-3 at a stop & off to next location. If i get more than 2 at a stop and it's far off road i'll usually skin 1 on location & use a modified rifle sling to hook up 2 beaver over my shoulder. Got to admit most stops have beaver ponds within 1/4 mile of roads

How does skinning go without the guts? I’ve thought about this for long hauls out but was worried skinning would be much more difficult with a floppy, empty beaver.

Ty wire around front leg to stick running back to hind leg, and ty wire around the hind leg. Use good firm stick, and haul out. Makes it fairly easy for carrying out one in each hand.

There's a reason they say that beaver trappers wear a size 44 shirt and a size 2 hat.

I use a large sled, not sure what they call it but big enough to carry calves during spring calving. Gear in beavers out. But I’m not expert and I only trap beaver under the ice.

Miss Alice when a lot of walking is required.

This is the best I’ve found. I used an old strap from a pair of waders that was complete with a neoprene pad. They are still heavy but it’s quite comfortable.

Only carry two at a time. Rope from front foot to back and over my shoulder, or just carry by back foot
