The North Carolina Mountain Fair is going on right now and besides the games, the rides and the food if you get the chance check out the North Carolina Wildlife exhibit. This year the featured subject is the American Beaver;
With its broad, flat tail and large, sharp incisors, the American beaver is second only to humans in its ability to modify a landscape. For this reason, the beaver has been both friend and foe to humans for centuries.
Learn more about North America’ largest rodent when you visit the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission’s exhibit at the Mountain State Fair in Fletcher, Sept. 7-16.
I don’t believe I’ll get the chance to check out this exhibit but hopefully they’ll have it for the State Fair here in Raleigh in October.
Moose Droppings is a place that chronicles my journey, I’ll explore new places and ideas I’ll learn new things and I’ll teach the things I’ve learned to others. Join me on the adventure and hopefully it will help you in your outdoor endeavors.
I used to like those little guys until they started making such a comeback in the southeastern part of the state. Dang, but they’re destructive critters!
I know, they were here first… but after the third or fourth time you have to have the roadbed replaced because they’ve damned up the creek and it’s flooding the road… well, it gets old.
Would be good if we could start recreational trapping again. The skins are awesome, and a trap line is a great way for youngsters to learn the ways of the woods.
