Much to my surprise received in the mail today a Top Lot Award for Beaver from FHA March 2025 auction. Anyway many here have probably received several over the years, but it is my 1st.

Congratulations to you

Congratulations!

Well done!

Good job!

Thank you everyone.

Congrats!

Way to go. Never got one myself, likely never will.

Good for you .Tell me about it ,size ,color,when caught ,did you recognize that it was great when you boarded it ?

Very good

that is great , I have never gotten one,

Congratulations, that's an award that makes you feel good about your fur and your fur-handling. Did you get anything for it, a certificate, a hat, a pin?

I've received Top Lot awards from NAFA back in the day for red fox and, believe it or not, once for possum. LOL

I did not know FHA had top lot awards. Is it being done because of all the NAFA folks now working for FHA?

Congratulations , I got one once for a red fox that I picked up off the road .
The hide was split and I sewed it back together !
Anyway they must have liked my stitches :-)

Caught it late November 2024, grade was 3x-2x select heavy BRN, sold for $74

They sent me a suitable for framing certificate and a letter of congratulations.
And yes I knew when I caught it it was a real good Beaver.

It's no wonder with some of the cheese grater looking things that you have posted before...I'm kidding, of course!

That’s nice! Is it a certificate? Or a plaque?

Nice going Squash.

How much snow do you have?

So far we have about 10” on the ground, latest lake effect snow has gone southwest nearer to Syracuse, they have over 12”.
But don’t worry Tug Hill as usual will eventually get buried.

Certificate suitable for framing.
