Great haul BP!
Anyone that has captured more than a few beavs knows the work that was involved in what you did.
Thank God For Your Blessings!

That’s kicking tail!
Great job getting all the niche markets hit.
The only thing I throw away on a beaver is the intestines lol
I don’t sell very many carcasses, but I’ve got 7 hunting dogs that eat beaver almost 1/2 the year exclusively.
Saves me several dollars in feed, and they thrive on it.
I didn’t hit $40 BP, but it was close with everything figured in, but I got paid WAY more than $40 each to catch’em lol Good job Clay! I've sold a lot of different things off of beaver...including one year I even sold a bunch of beaver beetles to an outfit that sells preserved insect specimens for scientific collections!
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

How much did you deduct for taxes? My Schedule C for trapping this season will have to be dealt with April of 2025. I always do report so that is one of the reasons you don't see me being timid about talking about what I make trapping. I'm sure the government appreciates that!

BP, way to go, my math comes up to $1115 per week gross. You sure ain’t afraid of hard work. I don't like hard work.... so I just pretend I'm having fun!

That’s wicked! I averaged $28 but 2/3rds were late caught. Plus castor. Hoping to sell a few tails this weekend for 3-5 bucks a piece.
Should have a nice average next sale. All prime and even the kits put on good weight over winter.
