4 beaver night!

[Machias]

You gotta love it when your traps are full! Put out 4 sets night before last and would not wait to get out after work and check them. 4 sets 4 beaver. Got very lucky with the little one. #5 Bridger on the tail. Good to be lucky once in a while!!

4 beavers in one night - any man could be proud of that accomplishment!

This could be first thread ever with 'beaver' in the title AND pictures too, yet everyone is disappointed.

Since I don't know the first thing about beaver (the animal) trapping, what are you doing with them?

Judging by the way this thread was quickly turning, I felt it necessary to specify.

For their pelts.

Pelts. They are averaging $30-$60. These guys messed up becasue they flooded a road to the back hay fields. The road is 3 feet under water.

Nice thick fur on those Beavers
Congrats on the catch

[Machias]

Thanks, they have some really nice winter coats right now!

[Taggure]

The Muskrats should also have good thick fur this year as well. Not sure what they are going for now but when I used to trap back in the 70's as a teen the cold winters brought the best furs and prices. Are you only going for Beaver?

[Machias]

No I'll be also going after muskrats, mink, otter, coon, fox, yotes and bobcat. This was actually the first night I was able to get any traps set this year. Muskrats are projected to selli for $12.00 - $13.50 this year.

Take care in prepping, avoid taint from the glands. It'll do if a feller's hungry.
