68 lb Beaver

[ArrowCrester]

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.)

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.  

That's a nice beaver you have there (HAHA).

Congrats!

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.  

[recurvecody]

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.

[marlon]

[divecon10]

This is a first for me! Those tusks... is that what they r called? And is that a whole bottom a plate? Impressive so as hey gnaw this stuff just continues to grow, is the brown stain tanin from the tree sap? Thanks for the picts

[Stone Knife]

Nice one          two thumbs up for that one.

[Chris Shelton]

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

[Pete McMiller]

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]

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.
