I had seen the short clip that Bernie posted about the Beavers but this is the full 14 minutes about transplanting muskrats and Marten too. It's 14 minutes but I thought it was pretty cool. From the looks of it, the Marten got a pretty good "mark" on one of the guys too.

I have nothing clever to put here.

I've heard the story and seen that one a time or 2 years past, pretty cool. They stock fish with that method too.


Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon.

Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor.

Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!

Tamest beaver and muskrat I've ever seen. If I'd have put my hand down in a box of muskrats, I'd have pulled out a bloody stub.

We were still stocking fish Spring and Fall two years ago when I retired with a DeHavilland Beaver on floats. You have to airdrop them from over 500 feet so they get oriented head down to reduce mortality.

Pretty interesting. Thanks for posting that.


Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

Pretty neat

I didn’t hear the word Crick or Creek during that whole presentation.

Why is that ??
