Be careful, when that airdale gets through the beaver feet he will start on the tail.

It is a refugee from Los Alamos , probably was housekeeping in one of their nuclear ponds?! The horizon glows at night, they say its the lights from Sante Fe but I know its the nuclear ponds that give it the northern lights effect!

I boiled the castors slightly to make a tea with the lower intestines with the oil sacs whipped to a froth and it glows a brilliant green, the "tea" is a useful aphrodisiac. I might list it on e-bay!

On a serious note; I’ve caught a couple of beaver like that. Usually is the result of an encounter with a snare. It shears off the sides of the tail, then heals.

I've caught some like that too over the years.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

That was the first for me, I've caught them with barb wire around their leg, face full of birdshot, crazy teeth,a deer slug in the neck that fell out when I was skinning, blind in one eye caught a family (6) that were starving the kits bones weren't even developed as I cut through them with a knife. Thought this would be fun things get pretty intense, good to lighten up!

When beaver are starving, they eat each other's tails. Kind of looks like that might have happened to this one.
