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.

I got it. So now I'm officially an Old Timer.

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.

Beaver with a 4 ft Culvert???? I think notify Guiness

Offering guided combo duck and beaver hunts.

Just going to add, they make great sausage.

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

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

Just go ahead and post the list of critters you haven't eaten, it wll be shorter.

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.
