Got this on an email from the Indiana State Trappers Assoc. Thought I would share it with you all.

John Allen, III with a 80.34 pound northern Indiana beaver. For those of you who don't know John he stands over 6 feet. So, this picture gives you an idea of how big this beaver is.

You just don't see many like that And that might be a good thing I mean if you have any distance to get it to your vehicle or as another poster noted fleshing it would be a full days work , Nice one for sure

Makes you wonder how big the beavers were when the old time trappers explored the west.

What a dandy!
