Strange morning

While striper fishing this morning I landed about a 5# Walleye. Then I was attacked by two beavers while trying to land a striper. I'm lucky to be alive. Seriously, I was standing on a rock about knee deep. On either side of me it drops off drastically. I think the first beaver thought I was a tree, because it just brushed up against me. Of course it spooked me and I jumped. Well, that's when I saw daddy beaver right behind the one that just bumped me and this thing was pissed and looked more like a bear then a beaver. If I would have fallen off the rock I could have easily been swept in with the current and drowned. Surprisingly, I never dropped the rod, was able to scramble to dry land and land the fish. Nice beaver.

seals + plovers =

So let me get this straight, You got rubbed by a Young Beaver and then the Old Beaver gave you hell for it.

...And you don't see the Irony in that
