Doc, when I first saw the word Civet cat, I immediately thought of the Asian or African variety. After speaking to some old timers today, I learned that a the Texas vernacular for a spotted skunk is a civet cat.

Thanks for the education.

Question:

Are all beavers brunettes?
Nope. Over the years I've also had the pleas...I mean I have also encountered them with blonde and red pelts too.


If I ever happened to encounter a red-pelted beaver I'm certain my weapon would misfire.

But then again I'm not a young hunter who actively pursues and harvests a wide variety of this type of game. And thus, it would be quite an unexpected encounter. I'm an old hunter with a wife, two kids, and a huge mortgage, perfectly happy with the lone beaver I'm licensed to hunt these days.

Anybody ever get an itch that just won't go away once you catch a beaver and dig into it? Asking for a friend. Not sure if it's little fleas or something similar.

This is nature's warning sign. Like a rattlesnake's rattle.

They also spray by "standing" on their front feet.

Back to the topic at hand.....sheared beaver is a very popular fashion option.

Have to be careful where you hunt beaver. Some hunters suggest a two county minimum from where you live.

Before the cartels went on their no limit killing sprees across the border, brown breasted bed thrashers were in great abundance.

I was always told the rule of thumb was that you had to cross 3 different rivers

If relocating, make sure you have written permission of the receiving landowner.

I've heard if you shoot a beaver with a hot load they'll open up like a clam shell.

Gotta be careful here. Shoot 'em with too hot a load and you end up having to feed the beaver family for the next 18 years.
