I wonder if there is any truth to this story; should be fairly easy to verify. At least if the mount actually exists.

I don't know if the news article posted is accurate. But it claims the largest beaver caught was 107 kilograms which is way bigger than this current beaver being discussed.

NOPE, I hope they had it mounted, but that would require a custom made form for certain!

Trapstickman believes that in such a case, a gender check might be something to consider.

That is the biggest I have seen. Many years ago the fur buyer here had one on a scale that pushed 80 lbs.

If 160user caught that he’d have to hire some neighborhood kids to carry it out otherwise he’d be there all day.

Set a 1.5 longspring on a muskrat float and tied to an overhanging branch. Caught a 30 lbs beaver in it. For a minute I knew I had just caught the new record B&C muskrat.

Neighbor caught an 80lb beaver a few years back. He said when he started to pull it of the water he thought it was bloated. Had to drag it over a quarter mile to the truck.

Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

That beaver is probably heavy enough that Matt could have caught it with that magnificent "stick under the pan" trick whistle
