Is that Mountain Beaver as in Boomer (Aplodontia rufa) or Beaver as in
Bucky Beaver (Castor canadensis). I'm sure that most roffians (ala Larry's
response), or most people not from West of the Cascades in OR, WA or BC,
assume you are talking about the latter beast and have no idea what a
Mountain Beaver (aka locally as Boomer) is. If you are talking about
Boomer skins, I'd like a patch. I have plenty of Beaver patches.




Having just googled Aplodontia rufa I see I certainly didn't know what a
'Mountain Beaver' is ...

Is trapping and tying with the cute little rodent legal? What is the fur
like? lots of guard hair, little, color ranges, etc etc

ignorant, but inquiring, minds want to know
