I can't find an August 10th beaver season other than units 18, 22, and 23 which have no closed season. Some furbearers are salvaged for the meat instead of or in addition to the hide (beaver, muskrat, ground squirrel, and marmot). Just because you find the pelt worthless, someone else may not. I am not familiar with all the areas of the state, but the liberal seasons and limits are being used as a management tool. Nobody is forcing you to hunt or trap the whole season or use methods you may not like, so please don't limit the opportunity of others.
