Those are gorgeous beavers mud.

Mud, beautiful beaver, wish all our NY beaver had their genetics.

Man those are beauties!
The big one I put up yesterday was thick & heavy dark, but the guards aren’t like the ones I got a month ago. Maybe this old warrior was just a bit unhealthy. His teeth are really short, couple healed scares in the back, but his tail wasn’t nipped. Also probably ran into a front catch foothold a few years ago, arm healed at the wrist with fur all grown in.

That's a tripod Shakey-good for you! I caught 3 of those last spring. Looks like a nice big beaver.

I have quite a few like those surprisingly. It was a very interesting year here for me..
I shipped some of my better fox to Idaho with claws on and between this area producing so many dark beavers I can say I think I’ve caught some of my nicest fur ever including when I lived up north trapping Pa., nj and Vt. Still have rats beaver and fox to get put up.

Set 2 different locations 2 traps each yesterday ended up with 2 this morning.

Couple more out of the ice. Think this is it until the waters moving, might hit my neighbours pond before though…
