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.

Which means in reality it was probably 60...

That is big enough to cut T-bones.

Not the same picture... this one was taken a few days ago. Seems there is some sort of lock on the image.

I have put more than a few on the scales that were at or a bit over 60... 64 was the biggest I can recall, but that was out of a huge pile of them. Several years were pushing 200 per year.

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,

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.

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.
