I've noticed the biggest beavers I've ever caught, I had to drag them out of the woods a long long ways. Sometimes a mile or more.. it sucks but where nobody else goes is where you want to be for any trapping or hunting. I find the densest populations of bobcats in the swampiest, trashiest of all beaver works.

One of my pet peaves is watching coyote hunting shows and one minute the guy is talking about how brand xxxx ammo does such a great job on pelts and the next he has it by a back leg dragging it through the prairie. Pack them, sled them, skin them, whatever....just don't drag them.

I packed out a few beaver In my day. I just used a backpack frame and ratchet strapped the beaver to the frame.
And I dragged a few coyotes to the truck this year. I don't see where dragging a coyote or for that matter a beaver a short distance through the snow to the truck Is going to do any damage to It.
