Got my first beaver of the winter! A big one at 49lbs! I know most of y’all have probably caught tons of beavers but I’m brand new to trapping and this is only my third. So much fun!! My wife just got me the basket for my birthday, it’s been a fun couple of days!

Nice catch. Glad to see your having a good time. It's a good wife that buys her other half a trapping basket.

Dandy start but now you are hooked.
