April 1, 2008: Being Hunted by Beaver

My link has the full story but summed up, after the beaver failed to flood us out it looks like he tried dropping trees on us.

The Killer





The Flood





The Second Attempt









The Payback

Must be a beaver scorned.

I say claim eminent domain, destroy his house, and give beaver to the needy.

Awww, but he's soooo cute and looks lonely.

Be nice to him, get him a mate...learn to co-exist.

funny, nice story !!
but when reading the full story, I am just wondering:
digital cameras change peopleŽs photography-habits so wildly that I sometimes wish weŽd go back to analog. sooo many pictures

But what about those needy folks who have no beaver? Aren't they cute too?

Don't feel sorry....There's plenty of room up there for those little creatures to live....That little guy happens to be a jerk. I think he looks smug. Because he knows how much forest he has, but wants to come down to the tiny city and chew up a parking lot. (they usually try to stay away from people)

The article also quotes a larger population figure so you are assuming it's a larger place than it is..but year-round population is only about 1500 or some nonsense like that (the last I heard). Off season everyone leaves.

Reminds me of beaver creek's liquor store though...heh.
"Beaver liquors"..tehehee. Sorry, I am so mature...

Yea... I don't know I heard the figure from a friend that I visited there that works there year round..He said the place clears out and there's only about 1500 people left each year that keep the place going, and the number sounded astounding then, so yea....dunno.

I have also been there a lot off-season and during season (my parents have a time-share there) and 8,500 year round residents for the entirety of the area sounds right.

But what makes you a resident? A time-share owner? An owner that shows up 2 months out of the year to your gigantic billion dollar house? Or? What are the population laws? Aren't most of the true year round residents renting from one guy, shacking up with about 3 more room-mates to afford a place and work the slopes? How does that living situation stand up to statistics?

Beaver Liquors is funnier still. Sorry.

A resident claims this as their primary home and registers to vote with their Colorado license in this district. If you claim any other county as your place of "voting district" then you are not a primary resident here.

I think there is a Beaver Liquors in Fort Collins, too...or it might be Beaver Market. Anyway, yeah.

Is that the place where they play cards in the back room?
Liquor in the front, poker in the rear.

It is like unlimited ammo cheat for cameras and I find you get the best pictures if you just keep snapping as fast as you can and then sort the wheat from chafe later.

I like being hunted by beaver.
