Want a patch of Mountain Beaver?"
This is a high country rodent called the Mountain beaver, not the common Canadian beaver. They are considered a pest in most areas around here because they go after tree seedlings. But then so does Bucky Beaver, as the Ponderosa seedlings on my place in Dayton attest. I am not the best source on the tying Q's as some can affirm :-) but . . . The fur is kind of a cross between muskrat and squirrel. I use it for dubbing my crude little nymphs. Fair amount of guard hair. Belly from whitish to light grey/Brown. Back dark brown and grey. Very buggy. Easy to pick out. I got it from an old guy up on the Olympic peninsula, and I will never use it up so . . . . let me know and I will send it out after Xmas. Dave |
