Beaver: Now You See Him…

I had an armed standoff with a beaver last night. The sun was going down and at just the right angle to make it hard for me to get a good shot. He wouldn’t stay still. I had to adjust my aim several times. I hoped he’d give in and slap his tail so that I could get the shot, and for a minute or so I thought he would, but then he escaped.

The lighting was terrible but here are my shots.

A beaver…nuff said.

He’d had enough of me.

And that was the end of our standoff.
