This adorable aquatic asshole took down one of the very few maple trees at my favorite island park.

    Man, I spend so much time in a sleeping bag and I have never yet seen a beaver. I don’t spend much time in beaver territory, so I was very sad this summer when I spent a week paddling their territory by canoe. Not a beaver in sight…

      I spent plenty of time on the river this year and only had two sightings. Plenty of muskrats though.

        Cool! We don’t have muskrats here. It’s funny, I just read Helge Ingstad’s book about his 4 years trapping in Northern Canada, and he writes a lot about both the beavers and the muskrats on his travels. Highly recommended book. US title is Land of Feast and Famine.
