Hi there, does anybody know where to upload from such printable template to stretch and dry a beaver fur ? NAFA beaver template - this provides the basic template for 1/4 of a full sheet. You may find it easier to do from "scratch" - Trapperman had a poster that directed to this link which shows how to draw an oval, which may be very useful: How to draw an ovalYou could also buy one here, among other places: Beaver template

Thanks, already bought one made of plywood. BTW, never expected that my first beaver gonna be in size of the 2nd line from the top. Unfortunately has spoiled the castor ( cut it occasionally). As well placed an inquiry to the NYC Craiglist for the master class to take about WHERE to set up and WHAT KIND of beaver trap , nobody has replied. Looks like Downstate New York has no trappers at all. So sad. Most Youtube videos shows HOW to set up traps but not telling the public about how identify "dead" beaver swamp from alive one. I placed 8 bodygripp and 2 pawcatch traps exactly following the youtube instructions and for 8 days it brought no one beaver regardless of all visible presence of a beavers on two swamps. Master class would be so nice to take .

Hi there, does anybody know if a market exists for beaver clean&lacquered sculls ? I have 15 from last season with lower jaw attached movable and fixed.
