Beaver Ears
Thank You to all for your information & recommendations about the beaver ears on the pelt . I recently talked to a fur grader at FHA ( Ken Frederich ) on a non related matter but brought up the subject of beaver ears . Ken says - He removes them personally & traps with Mark Downey . No need to nail closed . No degrading . Cut off or leave ( Leaving the biggest thing is taking longer to dry in that area & left fat , meat with cartilage can cause spoilage ) . So I guess it comes down to personal choice for the individual trapper .
