Beaver Catch, Clean & Cook

In this episode of Fish Quest, I am in the mountains trapping beaver to use it's tail as finesse bait for bluegill and other fish species. Beaver are amazing animals that have various uses. Come along with me on this trip into the mountains to catch, clean and cook a beaver or two. We will later take the tail, cut it up and use it to make ultra finesse fishing bait for bluegill and other species.

Back in the 70s and 80s my father and l enjoyed trapping together. We made decent side money at it too. Not only from the pelts. But also the contract bounty from farmers to rid their properties of problem beaver,otter and occasional fox. Beaver can cause a lot of damage by flooding low lying cropland. A family of otters will empty a good catfish pond before you can say "Where'd all my fish go"? And foxes can wipe out your chickens. We ate beaver a few times. I guess deliciousness is in the mouth of the beholder. It's fairly edible. But l can't say l prefer it to a good Whitetail backstrap.

To each his own I guess, I honestly have only eaten mule deer that have lived primarily in sage. Everyone says that acorn fed whitetail is where it’s at, one day I suppose. I agree entirely with you. Many animals can quickly do thousands of dollars in damage when left unchecked. Everyone points their fingers at trappers until their cat/poodle gets hauled off by a coyote or their canal flooded because muskrats moved in. I bet you wouldn’t trade the memories trapping with your dad for anything. My trapping memories are some that I hold close. Thanks for the comment.

Hello, I hunt beaver in Norway, my biggest beaver weighed 24 kg, your beaver knife sheaths look incredibly nice, I vacuum salt beaver thighs for 4 days, then I smoke them, they hang up for 4 - 6 months, pork with sour cream and beer.

[@FishQuest]

ah that sounds absolutely amazing, salt cured would be fun to try! When I have a surplus of beaver I'll jerky the extra meat which is also tasty.

[@ulfhye9451]

Hi, great video you make, I do beaver hunting and, do you have the name of the grill you use, such nice knife sheaths you make

[@FishQuest]

Hello, the name of the grill is “Takibi Fire & Grill” by a company called “Snow Peak”. There are other knock-offs that I’ve used but the quality isn’t the same as Takibi. Here is a link for the grill: amzn.to/47HZPiI. The sheaths/wallets I make I haven’t sold anywhere, I typically just make what I need out of the tails for myself, perhaps one day I’ll market my tail products I have another video called “Beaver Tail Bait How To” that video shows how I skin a beaver tail for bark tanning. Thanks for the comment, hopefully mine was helpful.
