They had to go,they were flooding some of my trapping trails. I will send them to the tanner for use in fur lined moccasins. The shorter nap of these early beaver are perfect for that use. Pelts are pretty grey but the fur is nice. I thought this beaver I skinned today had a real long narrow tail,out of the ordinary for here. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Great you can use the early ones , the long skinny tail , yes it's not common. Had a few over the years, and just chalked it up to a young one . We have met the enemy and the enemy is us!

I take some beaver under ice with snares and some nuisance beaver with footholds. I have taken some beaver under ice with footholds just for the novelty.
