Jerrys brother buys castor for his lure business and the other day him and Jerry were going through it and this is what Jerry found. His brother doesn't know for sure where he got it. It weighed 15.7 ounces. Have any of yall gotten them this big before? Jerry has trapped probably 10 to 15000 beaver over the last 30 years and he's never seen one. Close to this size.

That's really incredible for a set of dried castor. Hard to top that one. I have seen some huge fresh castor weights posted here in the past but nothing with that weight dried that I recollect.
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

I know it's way bigger than anything we've ever laid eyes. Jerry had one that dried to 8 ounces once but nothing like that.
I wonder what the largest castor on record is? Or if they even keep those kinda records

I've had a few that were in the 10-12 ounce range dry. Here is a random pic of a nice one:

I’ve only caught one a little over ten ounces and that was in NC. I haven’t beaver trapped in Alaska. The ice is thick and the snow as well as a couple of other things is deep.

I remember a 15oz. castor from a 68lb. beaver. Back before cell phones and ease of posting photo's, so I can't prove it. It would be no surprise from Beaverpeeler that it came out of the Willamette.

I don’t know if it’s painful but it has to be uncomfortable.

I don’t know if it’s painful but it has to be uncomfortable. I can't believe how rated G this has been, especially when it is pictured with a "teabag". Everyone must be on their Sunday best behavior like they should be.
I have nothing clever to put here.

White what does a large o e look like and weigh? The best example I can offer is for you to get a good look under a Hereford bull . Are you trying to tell us in your advanced age you had to lower the water in the toilet bowl? It's tough to get old.
