Congrats! Was it dead when you got there or did you have to drown it?

Have you skinned it out yet?  I'm betting it'll have multiple holes on its back and leg by the looks of that tale.  Been some Beaver on Beaver  :rolleyes: violence going on in your hood.   
May that for which I prepare never come to pass.

Cylvertip....skinned and drying now...no holes or scars that I could see...pelt looked great, but I am a novice.

Machias....I used one of Bernie's swim thru' traps which goes under water.  will try to add a picture.

There is at least one more, but the water is crystal clear and they must see the trap.  Have got sticks stuck in the mud to try to keep them from going around..but no luck yet.
It never changes, but it is always different.

Thanks gramps for the photos, I've seen those used under water and I've seen them just out of the water as well.
