We have a very small population in my little creek, but mostly muskrats.

Made for an interesting mount
Son of a guns can mess up a fishin hole fer sher....
Makers of all natural cherry flavoring also. Yum
In the late 70s early 80s we winter trapped them $40-50 in the round for large and XLs, chopping ice was a lot of work though.
Didn't see many in South Alabama unless they were way up in really small creeks. The gators treated them as appetizers in the larger sections of water.
Love the mount. Actually had one of these dead in my parents yard when growing up. There isn't really any water near except our farm pond and that was probably 1/2 mile away. That was the first time seeing one up close.
tried to skin just one time in my life , said tried .....what a strange over powering willow smelling greasy thing it was .
reminded me a hog skinning in the summer with a much more funky odor , not fun ....hats off to the taxidermist that did them 2 for sure
Lol...In the time it took one guy to skin,flesh, and pin a beaver hide, the other guy could skin,flesh,and stretch 10-15 muskrats. We only skinned a few before we decided to sell them in the round. There is lots and lots of them up here,the county has a part time trapper hired,as does the water shed district.Every fall/early winter the water shed hires track backhoes to remove dams out of water ways.....Every spring/summer new dams take there place.Theres no truer statement the "busy like a beaver";)
bet the taxidermist charged a pretty penny on them 2 , know it would be very expensive to ask me to skin 2 of them ....:RoflQuote:

Beavers provided some of the best fishing I’ve ever experienced. In 1974 and 1979 at Redstone Arsenal and from 1996-2004 when I had a place in West TN. When you went to those uncountable beaver ponds we went catching…..not fishing. At Redstone the ponds would get fish washed in when the TN River got up and in West TN when the Hatchie River did the same…..the Hatchie River Bottoms. Crappie…..bluegill…..bass…..just off the charts good.

I hear the DNR will put a $75 bounty on beaver this fall.
If true, I might have to oil up the 330s;)Quote:

beavers from what I hear have a nasty temper , probably not something in the trainable department is my thoughts ......
some other critters are that way as well , just saying .....:Rofl
Yes. Redheads aren't trainable especially the one beside me in the upper left of the screen.:RoflQuote:
