    Nice. I see more of that beaver stew in the near future. 👍

  • Derek's avatar

    @David absolutely! I've got a few other recipes I know are good too and some I still want to try.

    @Marci have you ever considered getting into trapping? It's lots of fun and if you have a lot of them in your area, it sounds like a great opportunity to learn.

    mmm..pulled BBQ beaver sandwiches on a cold rainy day.

  • Brian's avatar

    Fur buyers around here are begging for beaver right now.

  • Derek's avatar

    @Brian I wish I could find someone around here.

  • Derek's avatar

    @Brian and yes, BBQ sandwiches sound amazing! I also want to do a loaded baked potato with BBQ beaver.

    @Derek Groenewold fur and wool company has trucks that travel around the country and are wanting beaver, I don't know if the have any stops close to you though, you can look on their website for locations near you.

  • Derek's avatar

    @Brian I looked into them, and I think as close as they come is still a few hours away. Still may not be worth it unfortunately with gas prices.

    Great job

    Cool

  • Mike's avatar

    Nice work 👊

  • Derek's avatar

    @Mike thank you, sir. I learned from the best.

  • Mike's avatar

    @Derek ha! Wouldn’t say that, but I was effective enough to run out of beaver to trap lately🤣

  • Tyler's avatar

    Beaver fever!!!

  • Derek's avatar

    @Tyler I much prefer that fever! haha!

  • Derek's avatar

    @Mike dang! Sounds like a true mountain man lament if you ask me.

  • Mike's avatar

    @Derek haha, yep. Done trapped it out for the time being. It’s picking up again to the east where a buddy traps so I’m hoping next year will rebound

  • Derek's avatar

    @Mike I just keep hoping that I get more spots like this that are a lot closer to the house. All the driving I was doing before was starting to get old.

    Way to go man!!!

  • Derek's avatar

    @O2 thank you!

  • Mike's avatar

    @Derek that’s my issue as well. With the gas prices I’ve passed on a lot of opportunities.

  • Derek's avatar

    @Mike yeah, I had an opportunity to trap a property this season that would have been lights out on muskrat, but it was way too far away to justify.

  • Marci's avatar

    @Derek my brother had a friend that came set traps out but we never catches coyotes but we did catch fox & raccoons

  • Zakk's avatar

    Oh I got a bobcat

  • Roddy's avatar

    sweet

  • Zakk's avatar

    Yeah

  • Jim's avatar

    Yep, good job.

  • Derek's avatar

    @Harper Coulter I haven't really gotten into trapping groundhog so I'm not sure how much help I'd be.

  • David's avatar

    @Derek ever think of doing a beaver skin hat?

  • Derek's avatar

    @David I've definitely thought of it, but I'm not sure I have the skill or the time to make it happen.

    @Kurt I'm sure!
