Thanks for the invite. Not Sure where Jefferson County is but I'll check and review that possibility.

Thanks again,

oh that is really nice. Now I really have to kill a beaver. I know where several are too. That is one of the best handle wrap materials I have seen.

I have tried a couple methods for tanning a beaver tail and let me tell you it is no small feat.

 Looks good

Stiks, Any tanning insight for tail would be appreciated.

I will be having myself quite a handful of beaver come trapping season. Would like to use for wrap material.

Joe that was my deal, I caught several last winter that went over 70 lbs one went 81 lbs.

 I kept all my tails and froze them. They ain't bad to flesh and dry like some guys like to use them but I like them like the ones posted here. Soft and supple. I have yet to figure it out. I do know you have to soak them in a lime solution to get the scales to slip. I tried three different tanning formulas and they still came out hard and stiff as a board.
