Cool photos man! I'm happy see your daughter again in the first photo again. I hope she likes the outdoors better than the Mall.
My wish is that more beaver fall to your trapping skills!

Nice catch!
I didn't trap this year because of the low fur market prices and my health, but I missed the getting out making/checking sets.
I'm wondering if our local lake (state park) might let me make a few beaver sets next year. I think the beavers will get their attention when they take a close look at the damage from this winter's activity.

Re: Trapping in ontario lots of pics dail up beware
Thanks for sharing those "Great pictures."
Do you use the carcass for meat? Beaver are very good. My family enjoy it for tablefare. I prepare it in the same way as groundhog.
Good luck and keep up the good work ---- for work it is.

Re: Trapping in ontario lots of pics dail up beware
How exactly do you prepare groundhog? I control them in the london area and end up with 50+ a year. Last season I was going to try some little ones I shot but they sat in the back of my truck all day as I got called to another field.bbbwb wrote:Thanks for sharing those "Great pictures."

Re: Trapping in ontario lots of pics dail up beware
Adam: Skin animal and gut as with any animal. Cut off all visible fat. To continue for cooking,(Parboil - 3 times at least))- put entire carcass in pot of water and bring to boil. Boil for 3- 5 minutes and empty water entirely. Do this using fresh water, boil and empty, a total of 3 times. This parboiling will remove excess fat from carcass.If desired stuff cavity with bread stuffing( stove top type is what I use) lace up as in stuffing a bird) and put on rack in roasting pan with water. Season to your liking, I use salt, pepper, garlic salt and lay 2 slivered garlic buds on the side. I roast in oven at 275 degrees for 2 1/2 - 3 hours or until done.( legs will easily lift off of carcass)
Use animals taken early in season ---- before they become rolling in fat as a result of good eating. I prefer spring animals taken now until mid turkey season.
Beaver ---- do the same and you can use a mixture to baste as it is roasting if desired.
Good luck and I hope that you enjoy.

Re: Trapping in ontario lots of pics dail up beware
Thanks bbbwb, I will have to give them a try this spring when the little ones start poking their heads up.
Re: Trapping in ontario lots of pics dail up beware
Adam: I am sure that the young are very good but I have used the adults prepared as outlined with great success----- more meat than the young.

Re: Trapping in ontario lots of pics dail up beware
Sounds like a good recipe for groundhog. I've found they are a lot like squirrel, if you don't use the right cooking method they come out a bit tough & stringy.
Never tried beaver, I have a good friend that wants them to eat so I give them to him. In return (he runs a deer processing business) he gives me plenty of venison if I run low. He gets a few deer from people who never come back to pick them up, and the wildlife officer brings him a few that have been taken from poachers ever year. The officer just takes the head if it's a buck & take pics of the wounds while he's skinning it and leave the meat with him to give to needy families.
