Better areas to trap in region 4

Myself beaver(unless it is pink) is my least fav animal to catch

Yes you are correct on you thoughts about the skinning job the key is to have a blade sharp enough to shave with it..

I too miss trapping beaver .... pulled quite a good number out of the PIT PUB while at UBC back in the day. Gave up my "trapping license" a few years back so only memories remain.
Getting back into it is "like riding a bike" I've heard ...

The only thing Now is you might get 20.00 for a Double Blanket. Marten are only 30.00. Prob make more on Squirrels and weasels by Volume
