THE first wild beaver seen in 500 years in the UK was caught on film gnawing on a tree.

Come to Beaver County, Pennsylvania, where there’s almost nothing NOT named “beaver”.

I detect a disturbance in the thread.

Don't get me started on PA town names:

1. Intercourse PA
2. Blue Ball PA
3. Climax PA
4. Virginville PA

Perhaps it was carried there by an African Swallow.

Well I guess so. It is more suited to muffs than gentlemen’s hats

[katykelly]

I bet ;-)

Years ago they held a contest to pick a new PA travel slogan. The runaway most popular entry was:

Virginia is for Lovers. But only Pennsylvania has Intercourse.

Sadly our dweeb Governor Ridge did not want to put that on the license plates.

I own a larger size lake, 12 acres, and the best time to shoot them is a twilight if you can position yourself so the sky still reflects off of the water. Can’t see anything around you, but their V wake and heads can still be seen through a good scope. Best also if they are coming towards you or away, side shots are tricky because you just can’t seem to get the bullet placed without it fragmenting before it reaches the vitals.

Yeah, I can tell you all about the damage they’ve done, the DNR calls them rodents around here and allows me to shoot them all I want, just let them know when I do so they have record of it.

"Muff Diving Club was set up in the late 1980's and has been one of the oldest and most successful diving clubs on the Island of Ireland. So if you're looking for a trip to Ireland and you fancy some diving, then Muff is the place for you, and this site is where you start." "Muff is a village in County Donegal in the northwest of Ireland which has recently become part of the outer suburbs of Derry ..." http://www.muffdivingclub.ie/

They said 500 year old beaver, Slim. Not 5,000 year old beaver.
