This was probably around 1991 or so. I was still in the AF and doing some local trapping here in NC. This is dad looking at some beavers I'd brought home. There were a few light colored ones in there that looked like western beavers.

We have a light beaver and a normal colored beaver around here. Where I worked for the timber company in a different river basin, there were no light beavers in the thousands that I caught. The light colored ones had pinkish feet and tails, but normal colored eyes. Here's a picture showing the contrast.

Thanks boss beaver and beaver trapping tamed the west, seems that beaver trapping is an allure to trapping and the old west.

Back in that day, things were measured in inches
beaver pelts
girls figures

Then Canada started to go metric and the 91-61-91 was just not the same as 36-24-36
and beaver were not 1$ an inch or better
