500 beaver isn’t easy anywhere! It turns into work most reasonable individuals quit well before that! Traps are not light, or any of the other equipments (stakes, drowning rods, drowning weights, stabilizers…)
If selling on the carcass you handle the beaver 4 times. If you skin and put it up it’s 7+ times. I usually figure 12 time for me.
Thats 9+ tons of beaver from a trap, uphill to your truck, from your truck to your fur shed, to your skinning table, to your fleshing bean, then stretching, taking off the board and wipe down and store until you take it to a fur buyer! I've often had like thoughts about how much weight gets moved around during beaver season. I once weighed a whole boatload of beaver from my line and 24 beaver averaged 46lbs each!

Better be specific with the southern bunch and include 'during season' or else you'll have the whole summer adc numbers added to the final count. I know a couple guys who don't want to be known who killed 300 in one day so there's that! I only want beaver that get skinned and put up (by someone) to count for this contest.

LOL.

Why would anyone want to advertise what they catch? Makes for hurt feelings no matter if you get more or less than the next guy. I could care less what you get and I’d prefer you don’t know what I get. When the landowner down here calls you the problem he’s probably being subjected to thousands of dollars worth of damage caused by the beaver. His only concern is getting the best person to do the job. He wants it done as soon as possible.

What Clay just said ! Most Southern bvr guys don't get paid for numbers they get paid for the correct bvr. No one cares if I catch 100 bvr if the culvert is still plugged. You too need to go back to school and study biology , weather and map reading. You don’t have a clue.

You would make a very poor railroader if you couldnt handle lifting a few tons every day.LOL. Handling beaver is a picnic in comparison to spreading ties from a rackflat or loading spike kegs,tie plates,angle bars etc on a lorry or transposing rail on the section.

That is correct life isn't fair. Personally I think if you don't catch them through the ice they only count as .5 lol

What if we could get a&e on board? Mike is a lot of fun.
I would do cage trapping with Jim Comstock just to prove that you can not stop people who adapt
