We used gray squirrel hides & guts for fisher bait and caught two of them. Beaver Meat is suppose to be excellent fisher bait. I can process it and freeze it in vacuum sealed bags the size we will be wanting to use. . Besides the twof ishers we caught three red foxes.
This year we will be trying to catch some gray foxes, bobcats and coyotes.
When I go back from mid November to mid December we will try our hand for beaver as well.
But will need some beaver meat for the last week of October for the fisher traping season.
I mailed one of the fishers and two of the red foxes back here to get mounted. The extra red fox I gave to my taxidermist.
We did take a bunch of bloodshot deer meat and vacuum sealed it in usable portions for trapping bait and have in a freezer back there forthis coming trapping season.
We need to pick up a few more 330 conibears.
When I go backfor a month of deer season we spend a couple of days up in the Adirondacks and Pine Martin will be open so a little bit of luck we might catch one of them.

It is legal to sell, just not for human consumption.
Don't tell that to Lewis and Clark. Beaver tail was regarded as a delicacy.

not really a delicacy more as a need for fat in the dietIt is legal to sell, just not for human consumption.

That’s exactly right, sources of fat were few and far betweennot really a delicacy more as a need for fat in the dietIt is legal to sell, just not for human consumption.

Beaver meat, minus the tail, is excellent table fare. We eat all that we trap lol. It’s like roast beef but greasier
Huh, might have to try that :dunno:

I’ll grind it with 5:1 beaver to smoked bacon ends and pieces and make burgers. AwesomeI use a bit more pork then that but still the same burgers. Back straps are my favorite cut, grilled with salt pepper and Worcestershire makes a fine little meal. If cut clean and no castor spilled it's like lean beef, fed it to many people who thought it was beef tenderloin

It’s like roast beef but greasierI have eaten a lot of it, but never noticed that it was too greasy, but I do remove most of the fat before cooking a roast. Tastes just like very tender roast beef to me, and similar texture too.

Thank everyone for the responses.
I should be set for my fisher trapping trip back East.
I might have extra fishers if any one is interesting in one to mount or get tanned for a wall hanger.
We will be setting out over two dozen fisher sets .
They will have a New York State game department tag on them.

Plus we have a bunch of fist size packs of scrap deer meat in my brother's freezer back in Upstate New York for trapping bait.
I gly back to Syracuse New York tomorrow morning at 6am from Seattle.
I'll take my grandson out squirrel hunting early in the mornings the do trap prep and go set leaning poles up for the opener of fisher trapping on the 25th.
I have one last order to get in for trapping supplies from Hoosier Trapping Supply. I'll call it in tomorrow if I have time between flights in Chicago if I have the time. If not tomorrow I'll call early on Wednesday morning. I watched all of their going on eleven years of trapping videos on YouTube. Hoosier trapper outdoors. And I've watched many of their podcast on YouTube as well.
Then I have watched a whole lot of other trapping videos on trapping as well.
There is a whole lot of different state game laws so you need to be up to date on the state game laws for where ever you are trapping.
