It's sort of like lobsters. Lets try and grab a few and boil them up with some drawn butter and lemon. We had some beavers in the creek behind my house. The city hired a trapper and off they went. Had I known they were valuable I wouldn't have agreed to the trapping. And FYI the pelts aren't worth shit here in NC since it doesn't get cold enough to produce a good pelt. It's actually a decent part time job once you get a license from the state to trap them.
