That's cool. Looks like you've got the luck with you. Come on down to Texas. I've got a beaver pond that just keeps getting bigger.

Nice shooting. Now if you have a bear season, that beaver would come in handy.

There were no fight actually, the arrow broke beavers spine too, so it didnt swim even meter.

The point i was using were Bodkings 3blade, i drill hole to it and my line went tru it. AND just to be sure, i file barbs on the blade so it were like fishing hook.

Weight were 10kg without guts, and we criticise the weight would be something like 15kg with them. But think about that, Beaver is second largest animal what we can legaly hunt here...small deer is the biggest, and it weight about 22kg   :D

Congratulations!

 It's really nice to have the opportunity to see some of the forest from your country. Thank-you.

Do they eat beavers over there? My favorite recipe is cooked over a fire. I'll try to post a picture of some we had lately.
