Doubt it will hurt you on the felt market but on the full skin market it's generally not an upgrade. Last edited by SNIPERBBB; 06/24/25 05:41 PM. http://www.sniperstrappingplace.com/tmansearch.php

That's pale compared to our normal eastern beaver. http://www.sniperstrappingplace.com/tmansearch.php

Wish I would have taken a photo of it. I usually don’t end up doing too much springtime beaver trapping. I love the snow and ice and usually either limit out or get my fill in the winter. I’ve just never had a red rim before. This is also the first time shipping to FHA.

I’ll be watching it again too. My big RRs also fetched a bit more than the others, but Dave explains it well. Last edited by Shakeyjake; 06/25/25 07:09 AM.
