Generally, I catch all of my beaver under ice after coyote season but I'm helping a landowner out right now......he's infested! I put in three 330's on Saturday and I had 3 beaver on Sunday. The landowner would like 3 more taken out before winter. I don't want to waste the fur and to be honest, it doesn't look half bad. One had a bit of blue tinge to the hide and one was nice and white. The third was a kit which I will tan for a beaver hoop.
I have had top lot, and SEL*, I* beaver taken in fall several times.
They just can't be boarded tight. Once the pelts start to turn light grey or grey brown, they are early prime. This is what I was catching open water, and early ice last fall.
