Oh, and I forgot....somewhere out there in You Tube land is a video that T-Man member "Tsarevna" took of me doing a beaver skinning demo at an OTC sale maybe 12- 13 years ago. It was titled: Clean Skinning a Beaver...or something like that. (She set it to the music from Crocodile Dundee. Probably got sued for it which is why she hasn't been on here for a long time).

Anyway, that video shows me clean-skinning beaver and may help.

Haha I'll check the video out Thanks BP I have one to do tonight ill take a pic an show you a little better what I mean

I've had trouble finding the video in past years but if you do a member search for Tsarevna I think she had a link to the video on her signature line.

Cool video!

Yesterday I set out 2 330s and a snare at 3 bank den holes and
put in a caster mound set with a #3 duke set for a front foot
catch and this what I had this morning.

Ha! I'm just like you...I always try for front foot but get just as many backfoot catches as I do front. Often held by just one or two toes in a MB750.

Nice catch!

Bowhunter, it always amazes me how the beaver approach your set, often times it's not how you anticipate. Sometimes they read the book. You got a good catch on that one.

Bowhunter, that's about as good of a catch as I've ever seen in a duke #3. I use to run a dozen of those traps some years ago

We’re back on the board, got three put up for Wyatt today.

Wyatt had a good check today.

Way to go Wyatt!

Well, done with another 8 hour shift. This one was #24 for the day…time for a Henry Weinhard!

( 1 lg and the rest all XL’s and blankets).

Heck of a good for Wyatt!

My name ain't Henry, but I'd be whining hard after 24! I'm too slow at skinning to do that many in a day. It'd take me more time than that to just clean skin that many.

BP, you ain’t scared of it. Lots of big beaver too and those are harder to do. The ones we’re doing for Wyatt have been eating corn. Wow are they fat, sure do flesh nice.

I wasn't skinning. Just boarding.

Thanks NF. I often struggle to find a smaller pelt for the first side so that there's room for the 4 X 4's to support the board for the second one on the other side.

I love skinning and putting up the fat ones. I've been doing some that are wall to wall scar tissue. Especially the shoulders.

I'm still impressed, even just putting them up I've never done that many in a day. I was in awe though when I thought you were skinning and putting up all in one day.

Wyatt Erpp had another good check, three beaver and a rat. One beaver yesterday had a bunch of holes, he seen an eagle there this morning.
