I have found 6 before and heard of 8. This ole gal had 8 embryo sacks and two sacks had twins for a total of ten (10) kits. Hard to get ahead with litter like this.

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.

If my feet aren't wet,I must not be trapping.

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.

Like varmitshooter said hard to stay ahead of the beaver. Around here there aren't many very serious about beaver trapping.

It don’t find it disgusting in the least. In fact I find it interesting as heck.

But those pictures shouldn’t be on here IMO.

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?

I don't know about not being posted. The people that might be upset are all for abortion.

No matter the amount of kits, the adult female still only has 4 nipples to share to raise them.

Thats the most I have heard of.
Must be good feed in that habitat.


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

May God bless you and give you tight chains
