With all due respect to you, I am just responding. I know there are still some nice pelts taken where there is deep uncrowded water during late season. You mention only 4 of 19 pelts were graded #I. I know there are many variables with each beaver so I not being critical and am more like asking ...do you think you would have had more than 4 #I grade pelts out of the 19 if they were taken in late December/ early January?
