You guys are hard workers. I know the first time I put up a beaver I almost quit it was so hard and time consuming. But you don't quit and eases comes with experience. I could never put up the quantity you guys do, turn around and do it 3 days later. Much respect and appreciation!
I cant help but feel that the pond has to have some huge females left in it yet, to ever of had a male that large around. Back when I trapped...The price difference between carcass and stretched was very minimal and all the buyers where extremely picky about how they wanted them skinned/stretched that they could easily dock you more then the difference in price. Plus...each buyer wanted em done a little different. So if I did them like they wanted then I limited myself to only them as a buyer. It was an endless game of trying to beat ya down on prices it seemed and like dealing with a band of Gypsies! I would basically just skin the ones I wanted for my own projects.Have a great weekend and Thanks for sharing! Nice looking furs!🦫
great videos guys. Here in N Mich the ticks are everywhere. One of my xl otters was so tick bit I will probably just get it tanned instead of taking the hit when I sell my furs.
for once we have a couple boys that know what they are doing , A lot of stuff on fur on this is a lot of blah blah, that being said, I appreciate these two trappers, a small hint that would possibly make it easier to nail beaver would be to have a rotating nailing board, that is very handy for a single boarder. I am also a contract trapper for a larger Canadian city, so I appreciate this video. My largest beaver generally a female is 84 lbs weighted the day after it hung out to dry some, this year I caught three over the 80 lbs mark and that is weighed with authentic good working scales .I trap a large river system and I attribute the large animals to the fact they can come from hundreds of miles away. So thank you for the realistic beaver trapping and handling video!
I like to leave some on the hide . This way as your fleshing the weight helps pull its self off. I sold some this year to GWF folded in half frozen. Never going to do it again. You lose as much as two sizes on them. It's a screw them deal.
You guys don’t put up all your beaver though do you? You sell a lot of them whole? I put up 183 so far this year and I’m tired out. My biggest stretched 80 this year. You guys rock. Love your content
We used to put up all pf them but not any more ...maybe50-80 a year now about 1/2 are sold in the carcass and close to 1/2 just skinned and the rest put up. It is a lot of work as you know!
It is very good ...a lot like beef. We are making some sausage this year and have made jerky in the past. Most is fed to our dads dog...best dog food there is.
Quote “those guys who weigh there beaver lol” ….tell me about it, caught lots of beaver in my life and have never weighed one .. like you guys i dont care , it’s about size

Yup, thanks Wayne!!!
Those beaver have some beautiful fur. That first one was a big one.
Yes they are!
"Biggest beaver Ive ever stretched" boy that could be taken out of context
A man has to stand up straight and stick his chest out a bit to say something like this!😂
Yup, lots of "beaver" jokes!
Ha!
It's nice seeing you and Ken enjoying your hobby.
More to come!

Yup.....DO NOT SELL TO GRUNWALD....Big mistake. Never again for us!
I really like watching your videos. I enjoy Chris's positive attitude and perspective; it's sure easy to tell you guys are brothers.
Glad you like them!
the title sounds "kinky"!
Amazing all those tic bits...
Yup!
Confucius say: biggest beaver will be longest carry to truck.🤣
And it will be all up hill!!!
Wow never knew they got ticks do the ticks get all over the shop ?
Yes and yes!
The Bounty is the good part of the catching the Beaver 🦫
We had a state bounty on foxes at one point. It sure helped with expenses! 👍
Yup, it sure helps!!
Yup!

Hi Chris Kenny my friend we work at the mill after work trap he had to get 65 beaver a year land forest permit ( ty Ron
Hello Ron!
Is the Beaver meat edible? Or are they only good for the pelt? Thanks Chris and Ken
It is very good ...a lot like beef. We are making some sausage this year and have made jerky in the past. Most is fed to our dads dog...best dog food there is.
@@outofthewoodyard good inexpensive feed back when I kept a pack of hounds.
Do you ever hoop your hides to dry them?
nope.
"Inches is what matters"
Yup, beaver approved!
Quote “those guys who weigh there beaver lol” ….tell me about it, caught lots of beaver in my life and have never weighed one .. like you guys i dont care , it’s about size
We did weigh a few this year because they where the biggest in a while...5 between 61 and 65.
I don't think you have gotten back to me about a hat. You asked for my email, did you get it?
Sorry...email me again at chrisinthewoodyard@gmail.com and I will forward it to my brother...he sells the hats. Thanks!!
