Title: Just saw my first beaver
Post by: DoubleJ on May 04, 2012, 08:29:03 PM: Get your heads out of the gutter.

Driving home with my son from setting up a trail cam and driving by a marshy area and a big beaver watched us drive by and then slipped into the pond. Pretty cool. I'd say it was 70lbs but that was eyeballing it vs. my dog once I got home so that probably isn't accurate. If you have a trapping license and want the info, PM me.

Eventually that beaver just got too big and I had to find a new one to feed. :chuckle: Sorry couldn't help myself.

I had a lot of experiences with beavers at dusk and after dark. It was years before I actually saw one in the daylight. They are a beautiful thing to see.
