Just saw a monster beaver, 101 pounds, 66" from tip to tip. Trapped in western AK. Photo to follow.

Holy crap.....I'm anxious to see that. Stout lad could not hold it up high enough to get the tail off the ground. Dead weight was too much and the small front legs did not provide decent handles.

When he does get a pic he should send it in to FF&G......I'd bet they'll include it in one of their End Of The Line pages. I know they printed a pic of a monster Bobcat I sent in. I cut that sucker out and carry it in my wallet to this day...right next to the pic of that .25" group I once shot... Ha

I'm amazed that any thread containing Art and Monster Beavers would remain this civil.

That’s a pretty blonde beaver and easily tops my 68 pound best.

Damn! thats a BIG one!
I saw one once that I thought might go 80lbs..
Which means in reality it was probably 60...

I trapped one in MN that stretched 85" when I ran out of board, He drug a 10ft length of 8" log a 100 yards up stream including dragging it across a dry gravel bar, I caught a number of real hawgs out of the Buffalo river near Hawley MN.
That is a toad, a lot of good eating there,

Ill bet he's chewed all to hell when they get the hide off... By what? From battling other beavers, or parasites? Being serious, all I know of beavers is the one I see swimming in the river when I fish. Well, that and... OK keep it clean.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

Most of the badly bitten ones are in the spring and take some sewing to keep from getting gaping holes when stretched. Fall/winter beaver are usually healed up and I haven't had a fur buyer ding me for healed cuts in the leather and they don't show in the fur.
