Was lucky enough to arrow this 68 lb Beaver. It's a unique experience to hunt from a boat and troll down the delta and get an opportunty to harvest such a creature. (Fred Bear Kodiak T/D Recurve bow; 2212 XX75 easton aluminum arrows; three blade Razorcap BHs.)

Hope you saved the meat. Beaver is one of my favorite wild game to eat. Nice shot. Don

That is the biggest, meanest and hairiest beaver I have ever seen!!!

Seriously, it's hard not to make a comment about this without it sounding wrong.

Congratulations.

It takes a hell of a man to handle a 68# beaver. Save the skin and you can make a nice muff from it.

i dont know for sure but i think this is one of the only times you can really say "now thats one hell of a big beaver" and not get slapped by a woman, congrates on the kill.

Woa I thought my 40# beaver was big! THAT IS BIGGGGGG, lol

Very nice. As others have said the meat from beaver is excellent and one of my favorites as well. Prepare as you would beef. Roasts, stews, etc. You can trim the fat though I have never found the fat to be objectionable. Personally I prefer the 35-50 pounders for the table but have trapped them up to 67 lbs. I have seen old time written reports of a beaver from northern Wisconsin that went over 100 lbs.

Beautiful job with the skull. Did you have it done with beattles?

Ragnarok Forge · « **Reply #18 on:** June 29, 2010, 01:40:00 PM »

I am seeing a really nice quiver, some string silencers, and a nice meal in that big boy. Nice kill, out here it is illegal to shoot them, we can only trap them in Washington State.
