Default Wanted: Beavers for $$$

I figure it's never to early to start asking.....

I am looking for beavers for spring bear bait. I will pay up to $100 for a barrel full. I am in the edmonton area and will pick them up within a hour of town. If any trappers out there are interested, please pm me.

Best regards,

Drake

If you are looking for a barrel full for $100, it must be a small barrel you want filled...

I would like to please ask for any beavers that anyone would like to be rid of. Please, out of respect for Drake, I will only take any that he does not need or want. (Sorry if I offended you Drake by my hijack - I just don't think there needs to be several threads about the same request.)

I can come and harvest them myself, if need be. I will also pay for them, I am not picky about price. If you can please help me, send me a PM.

Thank you and good luck with your spring bear hunt!

Paying twenty bucks for a beaver carcass would be like paying five for a chocolate bar. The MOST I've ever seen (and we were shocked this guy was actually serious asking for it) was nine bucks. We pay anywhere from three to five depending on how many we buy. Less than 50 and we pay about five. Over a hundred and its about three. Ill have beavers showing up in about a month for the first time and every week until the end. Ill order extra for anybody that wants them, but you'll have to prove that you will be coming to get them. I don't wanna get stuck with a bunch of extra beavers, along with an extra beaver bill lol.
