Nice beaver!

Perhaps he’s meant to be a charm! Maybe leave that one be!

Yup!! I would

A great thread.

Marten and Lynx are a mainstay here. Both tend to not be very prime until Nov. first. Lower 48 states just want numbers reduced/controlled, so they open seasons too early for quality fur. But this does reduce populations if a state opens earlier than when the fur is totally prime. I've spoken with terrestrial biologists who pretty much confirm this, it's about controlling population or providing "opportunity".

Yep!" Opportunity" was the magic word used when Beaver moved from Nov 10 to Sept 25th. A Sept beaver ain't too prime.
