I caught another Beaver in my muskrat trap this last weekend. This time he tore the trap up pretty good. That's 2 beaver in this trap, and not any muskrat in this set. The trap was one of the first ones I built. 8x16x36. 4 doors.

Youve had one heck of a year turner. Good stuff man. Cant say the same for myself. Keep up the good work. Two weeks and counting.

 That's a good one! Have you been weighing them? Did you sell any or are you hoarding fur?  :chuckle:

I wieghed the one before the big one.it weighed 29#. I guessed the big one wieghed about 20#that more. It made me question the wisdom of setting my trap that far from the road.roadway  :chuckle:
  I havent sold anything yet. I may be a hoarder.  :chuckle:

If you hold them over the summer they will be stale goods and be of less value.

We checked, and pulled the remainder of our traps today. We caught another mink, and a muskrat to end the year. Never did trap a bobcat this year, but learned a lot, and had a great time.
