Wes and I were out in boat and we had been fishing for quite awhile and when we started heading back towards where we unloaded the boat we saw a beaver swimming above the water. So we started rowing faster and faster and surprisingly we were gaining on the beaver. The beaver then began to swim through the moss so that slowed it down and we were able to catch up even more. Finally about 10 feet from shore we are able to reach it with our oar and Wes took a swing at it and the beaver changed directions just in time to only get his tail smacked instead of his head. Half hour later or so that beaver smacked his tail at us a couple times. Beaver and I don't get along.
