It is time for the 8th Annual Trapperman beavertail challenge!

The rules are easy. Post a picture of the widest beavertail on a beaver you have caught. We'll close entries on 4/1/24.

Multiple entries allowed

Any size, post em up! 1 additional winner will be picked randomly in addition to the 1st place winner.

Tail must be on the beaver! A picture of the tail, with a tape measure across it, along with a picture of you and the beaver will do. Please make sure the measurement picture is clear, and accurate. Tail only submissions won’t count.

Prizes:

1st Place Beaver Tail Width - Your choice of Dobbins 4oz Jar of Lure
Random Drawing #1 - Your choice of Dobbins 4oz Jar of Lure

If you have trouble with posting images, pm me and we’ll get it sorted or posted for you.

I'll post updated standings from the thread submissions periodically so we won't have to hunt through. Multiple entries allowed.

Happy trapping and good luck!
