well if I end up looking at him through my scoop he will never see old age
Lol that's no excuse why it's still not in the freezer!!

Still is young looking, give him another 2-3 years, be nice to know what he would end up looking like

That’s what the big old cotton woods on my Shuswap property do. Crazy how much water is in them.

I remember working on a sawmill in the spring and we were sawing Black poplar (Balm Tree, Cotton wood) what ever you want to call it. I can remember the spray off the head saw was like a shower. Planks were heavy as hell. Later that summer when it came to plane the planks they were as light as puffed wheat.

What was the finished lumber used for pipes?

In them hills.
You skinning and stretching them? Not worth anything last year so this year will be the same. My uncle only averaged $8 last year for the big ones small ones he had to pick up never even sold. When I was a teenager we would shoot them on the river. One year we averaged $125 a beaver and shot 80 some.
Nah just axeing the tails off.
County has a $20 per tail bounty on them right now.
Overrun by beaver.
