Last minute beaver hunt with Mr. Chuck and Kelly! So we went out for the last Hurah! Wow was it! Shot one Kelly was the back up plan he shot,,, well the thing swam to deeper water and we unfortunately didn't get a pic with that one (40lber)  Then Kelly made an awesome shot on a coon! The we found another beaver and he says are you ready?! Shoot it!  So Being the nice girl I am I obliged!    :archer2:  Yes he was my back up again on this one! Boy poor Mr Chuck didn;t even get to take a shot??? Maybe we hogged the boat?  Awesome time! rain and wind but tons of fun! almost 62lbs big beaver  g-night I am tired

(seen smaller bears) (Giggle) He was a nice one though! Yes Curlis my end of month has been awesome! Just finished tube skinning him out and he is in the freezer! I thought someone told me it  would only take 15 minutes?!?! Wow am I slow. I can't wait to see this huge pelt tanned! Does anyone know where I should take it to have the skull done and the hide tanned near modesto? I kinda don't skin faces off so the skull is still in there. Any ideas?

Not sure Cat what you mean but "tube skinned" but if you mean cased, and like a muskrat, that's different.

We hooped them and slit them from blowhole to nose and rolled them as we skinned in what would look like a Christmas Manger contraption.

Easy? April Fools! I've rough skinned them kneeling in snow banks in MT many years ago when young, and would dull 2 good skinning knives on a beaver!!

AS for the rest of your questions on skulls...there is/was a recent thread on 'tried a few skulls" or something like that where the chap outlined a method he used and others chimed in.  Check your search function and see if you can locate it.

I have teeth that easily slid out when the skull dried... dang...they go forever up in their head!

Tube/case yes that is what I meant and did. I have skinned them before as you mentioned but that is a lot easier when you have a full slit up them! Yeah I have a couple of skulls also .... Those teeth are amazing!! I will look to find that post! Thank you and thanks to all for their nice posts! Had to take a nap today! Hunting with Mr. Chuck will wear you out!   :jumper:
