A little over a week ago had people guess the weight on this big Willamette river castor I took from a 70 lb male. Bucksnbears was the winner; guessing it correctly at 14.5 oz (411 grams).

So now it is has been drying in my dry-room approximately 65F with a 2 gallon dehumidifier and fans. In these conditions my beaver pelts are dry enough to take off the boards in 3-4 days.

This castor has been in there 5 days and is now dry enough to market. What is the weight now? Make your guesses in grams (28.35 grams to the ounce).

Here is the pic from when it was fresh:

You’ve all over bid.
I will go with 1 gram

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
