Kahnawake Mohawks get Cree help with beaver boom

Thats a big beaver.

An overpopulation of beavers... best news I've had in a while.

This is not the Beaver you are looking for. /waves hand

Step 1: beavers kill easy with a .22.
Step 2: beavers taste good. Excellent roasted.
Step 3: pelt makes excellent trim on gloves, hoods etc.

Yes, except it's illegal to kill fur-bearing animals normally harvested by trappers. And it's also illegal to use a rifle for shooting on the water (because of the likelihood of ricochets).



Yes, good-eating meat.



Also true. Makes good trapper-style hats too (the ones with the flaps that can be bow-tied on the crown).

faintly of soap I think.

Mohawk Land, Mohawk Law. .22 are used all the time in beaver harvest.

Depends on how you like it.

Then they wouldn't have needed Cree trappers.

They should try using Appletinis and soft music, its been a highy effective way to get beavers. Not much fur on them nowadays but they eat a lot more wood than they used to.

I have to recommend against firing a round into random beavers. In fact, thats how some beavers end up trapping men.

I've also heard that some of the older beavers seem to prefer younger wood.

Between cougars and beavers....clearcuts are happening
