Just ended my first season of beaver trapping and ended with 21. The picture is of my biggest. I'll add more pictures later. A majority of them were caught on my homemade castor lure from the first 4 that I caught. [Linked Image]

I'm thinking I'm going to tan one or two for wall hangers and sell the rest. Here is a photo of a majority of the frozen pelts.[Linked Image]

Beaver trapping is a lot of fun! Congratulations on having a successful year.

I know some of them look black but I think the darkest one I had one that big one. Which is too big for the spot my fiancé said I could hang one on the wall. So I'm thinking a medium sized one, just gotta pick between the grey, dark, and reddish ones.
