Received my Sept 2023 FFG magazine. Page 53 shows a 92 inch beaver pelt. Wow. It is huge. I wonder what live weight would have been ? Marty

I saw that. I had a few that went to the edge of a 32x48 stretcher (80 inches). I cant imagine 92.

I was watching the FHA auction when it came up, at first, I thought it was a joke. I believe it went for $775.

I caught one that weighed 70 lbs on a certified scale and it stretched 80" loose. It was 50" long on the round. 330 under the ice.

I had a buddy who brought me a beaver to put up that was loose on a 32 x 48" board. Apparently, I should have bought a bigger piece of plywood!

Amazing. Those big ones it’s nice to have a barn wall or something to stretch on. We’ve toyed with 80 a time or 2 but 92 is amazing.

A 92 incher has to weight 100 lbs or better.


Most in this country have things people in other countries only dream about. Yet, they want America to be more like those other countries.

105” is what I’ve been told. They never weighed this one.

Wow! And the record is apparently 110lbs taken in northern Wisconsin too.
