I have caught two in 5 years in my area. I have tanned both of them. They are gorgeous coming back from the tanner. Props to my Tanner: Silver Creek Tannery in Iowa.
@330 MaNiaC - 65 Lb Black! Nice! Biggest black beaver I ever trapped up here in Maine was 58 Lbs a few years back. Can’t imagine pulling up a 65 pounder. Impressive!
Michael Schnoor not much, maybe 3” and it’ll be gone in a couple days little water most is frozen, big water still open. Going to be close to 50 this weekend. To soon for winter!
I just got my first beaver a couple days ago. I have gotten three more this week and the second one was as black as a struck match. Love watching your videos. Would love to pick your brain.
I've watched several of your videos where you use a drowning rod, but no matter how hard I watch, I just can't see what is at the mud end of the rod to keep the beaver from sliding off the rod; if they even can. Thanks and please keep up the great work.
Good video but you just brought back some bad memories. Caught a 50 pound coal black one a few years back. Sent it to Foxx USA and got a medium brown one back
Man that happened to me once way back in 1993. I caught a legit 86lb beaver. By far my largest ever still to this day. Sent it in to get tanned and got a medium back.
My son and I just received our 16” mitts and Hats from USA FOXX and FUR in Duluth. They do great work and the beaver fur is very warm. 5-6 weeks for manufacturing since yours are already tanned. Always enjoy your videos Scott, take care!
Trooper or a vest would be my choice. That is a really nice pelt . I have only ever caught 1small black beaver , put it up normal and took it to auction some guy gave me 45 bucks for it . Looking forward to new trapping videos
Hat-shoulder cover. It would be nice if you where on a stand...thanks for showing us... I hope it tasted good. I haven't eaten that kind of Beaver for 32 years..
We catch few black (coal black, not balckish brown) each season. We got one yesterday and one again this morning. If you want to see pics let me know. Really like your trapping related videos. Tight chains.
Hey brother great videos. I would do mitts with the beaver and use a nice big Otter for a hat. I have an Otter hat and they are the most durable I believe and also warmer in my opinion, Stay Safe.
67 pounder is huge, we get quite a few black ones here in the UP but I’ve only caught a couple blonde ones, my biggest one was 88 pounds but average is 25-45 here, 👍
I caught a 60 lber like yours. Paid $450 to get it mounted. Took over a year because the taxidermist could not find a body big enough for it. He had to buy the largest body he could find and modify it. I caught it the middle of April and wondered if she was pregnant or what made her so big. Was yours pregnant ? Good job on your big girl.
check out our latest video, dan caught 2 black beaver the same day .the battery was bad in the gopro and did not get the retrieval on video ,just the b roll footage at the house with the black beavers next to the brown beavers .
on my husband's video he caught a black beaver that measured 73 inches boarded ,he caught 3 last season that were black ,the fur auctioneer wound up with a 53 inch beaver that had perfect leather and kept it for himself ,you can check out his video at ,trapper dan's wild adventures 2019 2020 .after you read this message you can take this comment down so we are not promoting our video on your channel ,just thought you could take a look at some of the black beaver from our line.,can't wait till you start putting out trapping videos this season.
I used to have a bunch of beaver in the stream on my property that was dammed up but the DNR blew up the dam for the railroad..... It wasn't even near the tracks & was on my property.. I'm pissed that they ruined the pond - no ducks no nothing anymore.
Is there anyway you can guess on the ages of those two beavers. Seeing as they are so large one would think they must’ve lived quite a long time?? If you could let us know we would appreciate it thank you.
Once they hit the 45 to 50lb range they are 3 yrs old. After that its tough to tell their age. But if you are getting a 60lb beaver they are probably 6+ yes old
It's a random genetic trait. Any beaver at any time can give birth to a black colored beaver so Taking ones like this effect the amount of them none whatsoever
The big black one should be a hoop on your wall. Thats a once in a lifetime critter. Enjoy it. Congrats man!

@330 MaNiaC - 65 Lb Black! Nice!

How about keeping hold of them and making either a coat or a nice throw for the couch?
I agree with the others saying big mama should be hanging on the wall.
Really nice catch and super looking tanning job.. Whatever you decide will make a great conversation piece for sure.. Congrats Buddy
Diamond willow hoop with leather lacing,
218 - Duluth MN area ?
@@thistledewoutdoors3331 No, northwest corner about 40 miles from Canada
@@goose2182 how much snow you got up there bud? Are the lakes froze over yet?
Michael Schnoor not much, maybe 3” and it’ll be gone in a couple days little water most is frozen, big water still open. Going to be close to 50 this weekend. To soon for winter!
Unique and very cool! Well done! I would hoop the black for the wall, just my humble thoughts!
Very nice catch !!! Always Great wen you catch a rarity !!! Mine was a smoke phase Turkey 🦃!! Congrats to you !!!
That is AWESOME buddy! Congrats!!! God bless and good luck this season!!!👍🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏
I just got my first beaver a couple days ago. I have gotten three more this week and the second one was as black as a struck match. Love watching your videos. Would love to pick your brain.
That was a absolutely beautiful hide would love to catch one that size yet alone black.love your videos please keep them coming
Awsome man!! Congrat!! You made some really good fishing/trapping video. Love it man
Thisr ate some beautiful beaver hides brother. Looking forward to this season of videos from ya. Tight chains my man.
Congratulations again I just saw that video last week. Wall hanging you can see every day
I've watched several of your videos where you use a drowning rod, but no matter how hard I watch, I just can't see what is at the mud end of the rod to keep the beaver from sliding off the rod; if they even can.
Thanks and please keep up the great work.
There is a piece of metal welded just up from the bottom of the rod a foot making it unable to slide off
@@330Maniac Thanks!
If it were me I'd have the hat made. That would be a great conversation piece and warm I bet!
i think you should consider a vest! I got my first black last week...only a large though
A nice hat with a bit of a tail would make you a authentic looking fur trapper!
I use Moyle myself. They are very good. Beautiful beavers. A hat would be cool. AL
"dry as a popcorn fart" lmfao
Absolutely gorgeous job.👊💀🍻🇺🇲🍻
We catch a few black beavers each season here in West Michigan.
That is a beautiful pelt and I don’t know anything about trapping but I do know that is fantastic.Thank for the video’s
Thanks for watching!!
Never caught a black beaver yet. They look awesome!!
Here in northern Wisconsin we have caught 12 mostly black, but only 3 all black. They are all made into beaver hoops.
I caught only one in my whole live natural black. I tan my catch or bought. It is a very nice trophy of your pasion
Full body mount, then when your buddies come over they can congratulate on what a nice beaver you have
Good video but you just brought back some bad memories. Caught a 50 pound coal black one a few years back. Sent it to Foxx USA and got a medium brown one back
That sucks
I almost sent a few to them last season until I found a lot of bad reviews like yours. That sucks they do people like that.
Man that happened to me once way back in 1993. I caught a legit 86lb beaver. By far my largest ever still to this day. Sent it in to get tanned and got a medium back.
I had a half albino one too a long time ago I never got back.
I think a hoop on the wall would be cool
I have trapped many beaver in Missouri and have never got a black one. congrats.
My son and I just received our 16” mitts and Hats from USA FOXX and FUR in Duluth. They do great work and the beaver fur is very warm. 5-6 weeks for manufacturing since yours are already tanned. Always enjoy your videos Scott, take care!
Real fur is so good at insulation
Trooper or a vest would be my choice. That is a really nice pelt . I have only ever caught 1small black beaver , put it up normal and took it to auction some guy gave me 45 bucks for it . Looking forward to new trapping videos
Trapping season almost here! Look forward to your videos
You get the at a boy for that catch wall it like the trophy it is keep up the bad ass videos
I think a black beaver hat would look great when you are catching huge pike on devils lake, or when you are shooting another big buck.
Hat-shoulder cover. It would be nice if you where on a stand...thanks for showing us... I hope it tasted good. I haven't eaten that kind of Beaver for 32 years..
Really nice beaver, who ever fleshed them must know what they are doing. Don’t see many stitched holes.
We catch few black (coal black, not balckish brown) each season. We got one yesterday and one again this morning. If you want to see pics let me know. Really like your trapping related videos. Tight chains.
That would make a great hat!! How much did it cost to tan the 2 pelts? I have 8 I need done
Hey brother great videos. I would do mitts with the beaver and use a nice big Otter for a hat. I have an Otter hat and they are the most durable I believe and also warmer in my opinion, Stay Safe.
I think it would be a good wall hanger... I don't think I'd wanna cut up a nice one like that
67 pounder is huge, we get quite a few black ones here in the UP but I’ve only caught a couple blonde ones, my biggest one was 88 pounds but average is 25-45 here, 👍
I ran over a 50lb. By evergreen college in wash. Befor I could stop and turn around this guy grabbed it and hucks it in the back of his truck.
Really good looking pelts.
I caught a 60 lber like yours. Paid $450 to get it mounted. Took over a year because the taxidermist could not find a body big enough for it. He had to buy the largest body he could find and modify it. I caught it the middle of April and wondered if she was pregnant or what made her so big. Was yours pregnant ? Good job on your big girl.
Thanks!! Yes she was. Theres a good chance yours was too
Get a trooper style hat made. Awesome 👍
Where did u send them hides ? To what tannery ,so I know for when I wanna have some pelts tanned ,they look awesome
Moyle tannery
@@330Maniac ok I’ll right that down ,how much did it cost?
I'd want to make it the center of a blanket. Adding more beaver hides to make it big enough for the woman and I.
I’ve got 6 black waiting for them to return from tannery,working on a blanket
Just saw your video. That beaver needs to be willow hooped 👍

Its ok Judith I don't mind you mentioning your channel at all. Hope you pick up some subs from it too!
looks great
I would so make a hat out of that big one. Maybe a set of big mittens for them long drags across the ice with the small one
I think the big one would look great on the wall behind you. Make something out of the small ones.
Send the beaver or two to northwoodsfur . Does good work. W
Get a vest made. Fur in,buck skin out with kidney protector. Would love it
Sorry if I missed it, which tannery did you use?
Moyle tannery
Hey Scott, What was the heaviest beaver you ever caught? Only been watching your videos for about a year, But yes they are very interesting
One of a kind bomber for sure!!
make a bomber hat outa big momma and a pair of mitts out of the smaller one the amount of time you spend outdoors will be put to good use i am sure
Nice soft tanning skin.
What do you get for a beaver?
very cool, put it on the wall hanging next to the trap you caught it in
Castor removal and processing?
Big mama on the wall
Someday I'm going to do a beer-shot every time Scott says "you guys"!
You'll get trashed.
Shot a blonde one and black one up here in canada
Do the hat...it would be bad.....look good on the ice!
I know a guy who made a beaver hat and his comment to you when he’s wearing it is “when’s the last time you had a beaver on your head”.
Good looking
Nice beaver
I think the smaller one one would be big enough for a hat and the big one I would willow hoop it and hang on the wall
Agreed
Do the Indian way hoop. With big black beaver. Thats me . Yes love the videos. Stay safe with all this going on . .
I used to have a bunch of beaver in the stream on my property that was dammed up but the DNR blew up the dam for the railroad..... It wasn't even near the tracks & was on my property.. I'm pissed that they ruined the pond - no ducks no nothing anymore.
If the big one is big enough to make a vest, I'd do that, if not use both to make one.
Otherwise, I'd have a felt hat made with the other.
HOOP IT ON THE WALL ...
Any beaver tails for sale?

330 MaNiaC thank you Sir for your reply to my question. You stay safe your videos are great and I’ll keep watching. God bless you.
@@dougsmith548 Thanks Doug!
NO, what do you think! If it was mine, I'd have a vest made out of it.
WHAT'D YOU END UP DOING WITH THESE? AND WHAT'S THE BIGGEST BEAVER EVER CAUGHT?
I got them tanned. 86lbs is my largest
U selling that beaver hide
Wet and stretch again
You just took a breeder out of the bank so they're even more rare now
It's a random genetic trait. Any beaver at any time can give birth to a black colored beaver so Taking ones like this effect the amount of them none whatsoever
Last year i got my biggest beaver and it was as dark as your biggest one it weighed 48ib
Come to Nebraska and you’ll average 5 of those a year
Buffalo briefs why not beaver
Scott make yourself a nice hat that goes over your ears they are NICE brother..ex video
They used to kill em for hats, SEATS on oldie cars. Maybe do your seats or head rests. Make bikinis. Charge extra for custom jobs
Beaver over beaver bikinis. Hahahaha
Make a vest
Check out northwoodsfur on Instagram. Located in maine👌
