Those look tasty!

To keep the possums out, catch them all. Seems to work.  8)  Or increase pan tension. As long as you aren't encountering 15+ pound possums...

I flesh all mine because I hate clean skinning,the trick to fleshing is having a good quality fleshing knife.
I own a Post fleshing knife,it was a good investment.
Best thing to do is take all that beaver meat ya got and go catch some cats they are a lot easier to skin.
Nice catch. :tup:

Usually most guys sell everything. This year with the prices the way they are I imagine some will get kept and sent off to the tannery.
Yes, all cage traps.

Once these Bears figure out there is chunks of beaver hanging in trees all winter they won't even bother going in to hibernation.
