Seems like a shame to let a beaver pelt go to waste. Would make a fine hat/cap for you or, maybe a nice set of insulated underwear assuming it's big enough. Just how big is yer head? Never mind, I don't want to know that information...………..
If not, maybe a nice coin purse for the little lady.

A new kind of nuisance critter tried to test the mighty conibear and lost. First one of these particular 100% carnivores I've ever seen on my property...hope it's the last one.
River otter. He shoulda stayed in the river.
my work is never done...........

And another one gone..........Saw him fighting the trap yesterday morning thru binoculars from my upstairs window but it was pouring down rain so I waited till yesterday evening to remove him. Smallest so far.
There are more, as I can see new work as been done on the lodge at the end of the penisula. They've put more mud over the sticks and limbs that form the structure. I do feel I'm finally making a dent in them this winter, but it's difficult to tell just how many colonies are in the pond system. I've learned a lot regarding their habits and how and where to trap them instead of just waiting around each night to shoot them.
The work is never done.......conibear don't play..
Just got him hauled off to the back of the property and saw another when I was coming back across the dam , but didn't have the rifle on the 4 wheeler.
I'll set out there on the 4 wheeler with the 7.62 and pop him if he comes that close to shore again.

I need you over by our house. Beavers have taken down most of the trees by the creek, and despite the Conservation guys coming out and trapping all of them, trees continue to miraculously go down.
Pulled the SD card this morning and evidently last time I put the SD card back in and formatted it, I accidentally switched from photo to video and found I now have 8 dead AA batteries that aren't but a few days old, nearly 30gb and about 20 hrs of nothing but 1 bullfrog, a lot of little waves on the water, hrs and hrs of weeds and grass blowing in the wind, one cow that walked in front, and 2 tiny white spiders that crawled across the lens.... them batteries ain't cheap.

You might be missing a real opportunity.
Perhaps if you installed a good night vision webcam and charged for subscriptions: "Beaver Vision"
