Thread: Fresh beaver sign !!!

Hey Nussmuck and Walter

Do the beavers smell as badly as I have heard?

The stinky beavers in SE Wisconsin are safe from ol' Dave. Don't like stinky.

These dont smell at all.....

Beaver strop maybe?

Do they cut down the trees to make damns,or do they eat the woods?

They cut trees down and de limb them ....and they eat the bark of the tree...Then when they are done peeling the sticks....they are used to make dams and huts.

Guess what these wallets are made from....

I got a couple of beavers I put on my head once in awhile. No Hirlau not what your thinking. Although that sounds fun I am talking cowboy hat.

What do you use for bait , hickory or mesquite ?

All the high end hats are felted from beaver fur 4x.....100x...more X means more fur and more money.Abe Lincoln's Top Hat was made from beaver too !!

Mostly blind sets/ channel sets, with beaver lure. And the real smart ones...I use fresh poplar/aspen....it's like candy for them and can't pass it up.

I wonder if anyone has tried to make a brush outta beaver??
How would it compare to badger?
