I've got access to some, and I'd rather not have to deal with shipping out of state, anyone interested in them?

Something I can help with, there Rasbo?

Mountain beavers are rare, and unique, thought a local taxi might be able to use 'em.

I guess I'll go back to taxidermy.net.

I have them all over by my place.  One night a buddy and I were almost to my house and one was running up the road.  I told him "I think the neighbors hamster got out, grab it"  he bailed otu of the truck and was about to grab it and I told him NO!  If he would have grabbed that thing I bet ya it would have drawn blood!   He was mad when I told him what it was.   :chuckle:

Guys,

I apologize if my reply to Rasbo seemed "out of line".

I didn't understand his  :dunno: and considering it was my first post, I didn't see it as much of a "welcome". :rolleyes:

As far as the rarity statement, the west side of Oregon, Washington, and British Colombia is the only place on the whole of planet Earth these lil' dude's live (even though they are prolific in the areas they do inhabit).

Rare, like Sitka blacktails are rare.

And unique, in that they are one of the oldest mammals still in existence, and they (Aplondotia rufus), have no other living relatives on the tree of evolution.

A Google image search (http://images.google.com/images?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hl=en&q=mountain+beaver&gbv=2&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g1) will yield hundreds of photos, and Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia./wiki/Mountain_Beaver) can elaborate on the uniqueness of the biology and anatomy of the creature better than I ever could.

BC Chaser,

The WDFW got me this gig. And I am not working on a special permit, so there's nothing illegal about what I am doing. ;)

Thanks for hijacking the thread, guys.... this place never changes does it?

There's a reason I never posted before, and you guys could not have illustrated it any better, than you have.

 :dunno: ...indeed.

Post by: runamuk on August 06, 2009, 08:49:28 PM
I actually know quite a bit about them after finding what I thought was a brown guinea pig squashed by a car many years ago...discovered it was the same creature that made ankle breaking holes all over the woods that isn't really any sort of beaver at all....as for rare well not in these parts and it seems you knew that so why would you think taxi's in this area where they are not rare would be interested?
I actually am kinda curious your thought process on that because it doesn't make much sense...now had you posted that same info on say hunting texas it might make more sense.....I can go behind my house and get a mt beaver if I really wanted one stupid things have a colony out back.....I've also got voles coming out my ears darned destructive creatures that when called a pocket gopher is supposedly rare as well....I wish it was extinct...

Runamuk,

This is a taxidermy sub-forum, and there is a fairly good market for mounted museum specimens.

I have sold critters through other national and worldwide forums in the past, and it's a big hassle freezing and shipping them, dealing with paypal, etc.
I thought I'd try to keep the local economy going.

This is the world wide web so I came at it from a global perspective (like the other sites I am used to doing this type of a thing on).

That, was my thought process. ;)

....And I didn't expect this to be dragged into the gutter with sexual inuendos. :o
But as they say, there's no such thing as bad publicity.

I won't bother to debate the differences between the Mazama pocket gopher, indigenous to western Washington, and the common vole, as I have had just about enough of this.

I've now made 5 more posts than I ever should have.

Spot on!
No we never change around here. If you ask a question that can be twisted, manipulated and goofed with, and it gets us all to laugh, then expect it to be done. Take it in stride and with a sense of humor. Theres already too many serious people in the world with their undies wadded up, no need to be like that here.

If the undies are always getting wadded take 'em off! :chuckle:
