The daughter said she wanted another pet I said here I don't have to worry about telling you to feed & water this one.

That is pretty big.

I saw one trying to work his way onto some ice 40 years ago, he couldn't do it, that had a head as big as a Terriers.  Muskrat are very tasty animals.

Very nice.  I chopped a bunch of ice again this last weekend and am looking forward to checking traps in a couple more days.  A lot of ice here but the beaver are under it!!

Dan I caught one good many years ago that weighted 76 pounds that was when the Game Warden had to tag them when you caught them he said that was the biggest beaver he ever tagged wish I would have kept him. going to send the big one to get tanned & put him in a wooden hoop to hang on the wall.
