The war rages on. They mercilessly chopped my BCs. I think the BCs will survive if they leave them alone after this.

If I see one, it will not have a chance to say ouch. There will be beaver sauce piquant to share among my friends.

Do people still trap Beaver? Or did that end in the late 1800s.

Did it last weekend. Nuisance beaver though. But yeah people absolutely trap beaver still and then sell the fur to mad hatters

Cool! I didn’t know that. I've only read about Beaver trapping in early frontier books.

@Cajunrider if you want to protect certain trees. Some rebar stakes and some sort of galvanized wire mesh(1x2 or 2x4) around the outside should keep them out. 3 foot tall should do it. Them beavers are stronger than you think and can chew through light gauge wire.

The beavers were probably there first.

It’s all good. If they stay out of sight, they will live. I will replace the trees. If they come out and taunt me, they will be sauce piquant.

Actually, right now the adults are kicking out last years kits so they could be new. And by kit I mean a 30 lb beav. LolThe beavers were probably there first.

30 lbs huh. How many pound dressed? 17 lbs with 9 lbs meat?

Well, personally I prefer to observe beavers rather than skin them.
But if I had some gnawing on MY bonsai trees, I might reconsider

What most people don't know is that the testicle was worth as much as the pelt. Into the 50's. Sounds crazy? Thus the french name for beaver. Castor. People were lathering themselves up with it to attract a mate? Then the pope declaired it a fish so the voyageurs could eat them with a clean concience

To be handled carefully. One killed a Russian guy. They did have it in their car? Bit through his femoral artery. Could'nt make it to the hospital.
now that’s the flip side of F—— around and find out.
