This one came out on the bank while I was tending traps. I'm guessing he's around 45 to 50lb

Catch him and let us know.

Nice 'un for sure. Probably right on the guess.

Head shot.
Looks like a dandy.

too small , let it grow
when the tail is 12" wide you know it tips the scale at 100#
look at the one that Dwayne Lazar 100# got on the web page of a trap supply company Damm beaver in Sask.

He's a mature trappable beaver!

Good place for a foothold.

Those reflection pictures of it are cool

Zombeaver

Why didnt you shoot it?

Big enough.

Twice as big,
There's 2 of them.

Yes they Are

I'd say 55 to 60#

From my research, beaver weight is relative to distance traveled from whatever motorized vehicle is used. If you can drive up to it and only have to carry it 50 yards or less it’s generally 20-30#. If the distance to said vehicle is .5 miles or less it’s generally 30-40#. If 1 mile or under it’s 40-60#. Now if you’re more than a mile back by foot then caught beaver will be anywhere between 60-100# and you’ll catch multiple beavers on one check at that weight.

Nail it to a board and I'll tell you.

I guess you gotta trap it and tell us.

Because that's illegal

It illegal to shoot beavers??

Yes have to trap them in PA
