Think you have a record?

If you have trapped a large furbearer, let us know!

The rules:

  • It must be from a legal furbearing species.
  • It must be taken within the legal trapping/hunting/cable restraint season each year.
  • Record is for the weight only.
  • Weights are recorded by MDC personnel at either the Resource Science Center in Columbia or at the fur auctions on a specified digital scale.
