Record-Weight Furbearers

Body

Think You Have a Record?

If you have trapped a large furbearer, let your regional office know. Browse the Regional Office Directory to find the office number.

The rules:

  • Your record must be 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 the Resource Science Center in Columbia or at the fur auctions on a specified digital scale.

Records documented since 2011.
