Authorities said Russ McTindal was fishing Thursday when he saw the mammal, which he estimated to weigh 35 to 40 pounds, came at him quickly, WSB-TV, Atlanta, reported Monday.

"When he got close enough, I whacked him a couple of times with a fishing rod on top of the head," McTindal said. "He even speeded up more. When he got to the bank, he come in chomping."

I hope the guy doesn’t get turned away from beavers. Most of them are very nice.

[Recovering_Democrat]

I hate when that happens. Or I don’t. Depends on the beaver.

Was it the "Always Enjoyable Inflatable Beaver"?

[OB1kNOb]

Popcorn time!

Who to call? Who to call? Carter has experience with large attacking rodents and Clinton has experience with Beavers.

You got something against beavers?

[gitmo]

The leather outfit, whips and chains are usually a dead give-away for these sorts of beavers.

Geez, have some decency, at least put up a picture of Helen Thomas.

[gitmo]

Exactly what I was talking about !!! Thanks.

Jimmy Carter again ?

You got something against beavers?

Yes, but I can’t say what it is.

35-40 pounds is large? A beaver trapper trapped a 55 pounder from my father’s property earlier this year.

Rush is talking about this right now! More evidence Rush monitors FR. :)

[gitmo]

Actually, this is closer to what I was describing.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

"Geez, have some decency, at least put up a picture of Helen Thomas."..o.k....."dead beaver" works also.

[Man50D]

It’s just as well he didn’t catch the beaver. That thing would have torn the guy apart.

¡ When good Beavers go bad !

[VeniVidiVici]

Nope. Ain’t gonna do it.

I caught a 65 pound beaver in a foot trap when I was a kid. I was 3 miles from the road and liken to never got that thing out of there. At the time, the hide was a $1 a pound on the carcass.

Save our forests. Eat a beaver.

As usual, Beaver's in the middle.

ok. maybe just a little :-)

[IamConservative]

For me, I’ve made a note to never whack a beaver with a fishing pole..

[katana]

Can beavers have rabies? I know they sometimes get crabs.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Hey! Wally!.....why do they call me the Beaver?.....

The guy is being over dramatic. He only needs to stay away from beavers about 5 days each month..... he can fish all he wants the rest of the time.

I was very scared of clicking on this thread...yet I felt compelled to click (Moth to a flame kind of thing) ;^)

[ModelBreaker]

You have to wonder what white, male, Americans did to that beaver to make it so desperate that it had to attack. If we could just get a dialog going . . .

[tflabo]

Any cleaverage with that beaver or was this just a tale due to alcoholic beaverages.

[Ueriah]

I saw the title on this thread and was SURE I would be the first to go Jimmy Carter. Missed it by THAT much!

[aeonspromise]

Probably a lot of folks have experienced that after midnight at their favorite bar...snicker..I know..shameless//

[TexasPatriot1]

Fighting the urge..... Must not.....

[Jack Hydrazine]

Guys will do just about anything to get a beaver!

[TexasPatriot1]

I cannot resist any longer...

He should have tried petting it.

Sorry guys. 404 in 3...2...1...

[TexasPatriot1]

If Russ can’t handle a wet beaver, he should relinquish his man card

“Beavers have been tamed to such an extent that they have brought home what they caught by fishing to their masters. This is often the case with otters, of which I have seen some that were as tame as dogs, and followed their master wherever he went; if he went out in a boat the otter went with him, jumped into the water and after a while came up with a fish."

"When he got close enough, I whacked him a couple of times with a fishing rod on top of the head," McTindal said.

McTindal, don't you think you were a little hard on the beaver?
