I wish I had sent them my other one too. I like the way it looks compared to the more normal colors.

Man that's sweet! It is also really making me regret selling the big black one I caught a couple years ago.

Black is beautiful

What a beauty. Looks great in with the others, shows the contrast of them all. A garment of some sort , showing them off together would look fantastic.

Nice pelt and I agree it would look great on a willow hoop dressed with a turkey feather.

Pretty, although maybe more of the whole pelt in the photo...?

I think back beaver here is about as rare as finding a black coyote. I'm not saying it never has happened just that I've never heard of any. Maybe black beaver actually need forests to be found in overall higher beav populations. I wonder if any of the black beaver caught make cornstalks and mud dams...? wink

Yes they do. My trapping partner got one in farm country this year. His 2nd black in a year. Just a genetic thing we have a pretty good number of them around here but all our beaver are darker than out west.


Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

They do look nice. In all my years I have only caught one black beaver.
