I remember a picture in the Wichita Eagle of one that was over a 100 lbs. and came out of the Arkansas, and supposedly a state record. I was in high school when I saw that picture and cut it out, that was over 50 years ago. I was just learning how to trap beaver then, that really made an impression on me, never dreamed one could get that big. Last edited by K52; 03/09/24 12:04 PM. Reason: spelling

Yep...I'm a doubter on that 120lb beaver. Proud to catch one that big? No...I'd rather catch two 60 pounders....$$ Thank God For Your Blessings! Never Half-Arse Anything! Resource Protection Service

There was a beaver in the water 10 feet away from me thinking it was hiding alongside a log. From where its nose was to the end of his tail was over 6 foot long. Maybe 7. My friend would not get back into the water.
