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

Very cool. Congrats
(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:
Congrats. Looked like a fun evening. :)
Congratulations! You had a very good March.I think you and your Tornado are doing fine. By the way everyone,she had me build her Tornado to match her Camero. :clapper:
Congratulations :)
:jumper: Yes I did! You did a fine job and they both make me do the happy dance!
Looks and sounds like you had and are having a great time with your Tornado! :thumbsup:
