Hunting Washington Forum

AWs Son:
I sell the tail skin and render the tails into oil.
Must be careful with the oil. I told Randy S, a maker of beaver tail leather products, and beaver tail oil, that his BTO had magical quality’s to it. He asked how’s that? I told him I had to  8)stop using it in the fall for wolves as every time I did,
it would make a bear appear out of thin air. I bought a gallon from Randy this spring. $70.
This batch I just put up will be ready in two years.
The dogs give me their rapt attention when I’m puttin up beavers. The feet are good busy work for them.

Alright, aside from the route that we’d all REALLY like to go; which is trapping, skinning and fleshing a beaver.  How would a guy go about getting his hands on one of these wallets and how much would it run?  That thing is SERIOUSLY awesome! 

We got ours on the opener, I'm guessing the 500 pots within 100 yards of ours did well too.   

Haha, I was up north and dropped my pots in 8-2 on my way to the Bubble on Friday.  I don't crab up there often, so was shocked by the number of pots in every direction between Edmonds and Tulalip!  Clearly an amazing number of crab down there to handle the commercials/tribes beforehand, and then the 10,000 pots over the opener weekend.  I did MA10 on Sunday, and it was good too.  A million pots down there too though.  Crazy what it's become over the years.  Blows me away that there's that many crab down there.  San Juans are like that too - might be 10 weeks into the recreational season and after a ton of commercial/tribe openers, and you'll still find limits and the occasional 8" crab. 

In early August I’ve seen eight bears in one small south facing slope clear cut that was grass grazing area for bears, and deer. Fun to watch how the deer know the bears are there but both walk in circles around each other with no predatory response from the bears.

These were does with out fawns, and bucks.

Yes

The last week of June saw a few not far from each other.
Plus a couple real close to each other.
