Largest beaver I ever caught weighed 86 pounds.I don't know how many young she actually had,but ahe raised 10 a year. Missed her the first year,but caught the male and 10 young of the year, and 10 considered 2 year olds. The next fall a new mail and 10 young of the year. Finally got her the next fall. I think that if she had been trapped in the early spring,she would have been close to 100 pounds. Tom
If my feet aren't wet,I must not be trapping. Tom Olson MTA life member#100,also WTA life member

WOW! The most litter mates I have caught was 6 two year olds out of a ditch. All within a pound and a half of each other. NO adults, no young'uns. The next year I caught 1 adult there. But I only had a small stretch of this stream with heavily wooded /agriculture on either end.

Fisher man, just for clarification; are you disgusted that doing away with beaver is considered a good thing in some areas, or that a pregnant female is caught, or that a pregnant female is opened up to see how many kits are inside?
