Beaver Hunt this weekend
« on: August 07, 2009, 01:02:56 am »
I'm going to take my Hickory Flatbow that I just finished, and go bust some beavers that a friend asked me to clean out of her stream. I'll try to post pics next week. This should be fun.....

Man wish i was with ya. Beaver hunting on a river with a canoe is a favorite of mine. Great eating also, especially over a fire.  Good luck

Be sure and save the tails. They make great bow grips.
Be thankfull for all you have, because no matter how bad you think it is...it can always be worse.

Gigmaster if you were closer I would like to get the meat off you for baiting bear. It's the best candy for a bear.

Go to the Bow of the Month, and look at my Dogwood bow for January... it has a beaver tail handle on it. :)

I thought seriously about shooting one with a fish arrow a couple months ago, but Chris wouldn't agree to take it off the arrow for me..;D

i I looked  at your  pics  of the  beaver tail  handle,  very  striking,  I  like what  you  did  with  the  top  rim,what  is  the  texture  like?

Just had to comment on using the beaver as a bear bait.  We used to trap black bears for the gov't (catch/transport/release).

The best bait was a beaver, tied up in a garbage bag and left in there for a good week or two or more....nothing within 10 miles could avoid that smell....worked like a charm.

Just don't get any juice on your boots....never really comes clean.
