Man killed by Beaver.
Those old time Mountain Men were even braver than I thought!
A fisherman has been bitten to death by a beaver after trying to take its photograph.
The man was on a fishing trip at Lake Shestakov in Belarus with two friends when they spotted the animal on the side of the road.
He stopped so that he could take a picture but as he approached the beaver it pounced on him, biting him in the thigh.
His friends attempted to stem the flow of blood from the wound but the animal’s bite had severed a main artery and the man, who came from Brest, bled to death.
Beaver attacks are rare and according to experts those animals that do go for humans are usually rabid.
However, they are not unheard of.
Earlier this week a video was posted on YouTube showing a man in the Tver region, northwest of Moscow, running away from a beaver who charged at him as he was filming in the area.
Last year in the US two girls were mauled by a beaver in a lake in Virginia as they swam. They suffered serious bite and scratch injuries. A man was also attacked in New York and an elderly woman in Washington .
In 2003 in Belarus a farm manager and farmhand were bitten by a rabid beaver as they tried to chase it from a barn. They survived the attack.
Beavers are the second largest rodents in the world.

Re: Man killed by Beaver.
I saw that on another forum. I know of a New Hampshire game warden who was trying to release a beaver from a Bailey cage trap and it attacked him. It bit him through the upper thigh and it was killed to have it removed.
People think beavers are cute and cuddly but quite the opposite.

Re: Man killed by Beaver.
There is a lake I fish in southern Missouri that has a good population. They are every bit of 60 or 70 pounds there. Many evenings I have watched them work as I fished. They will swim right next to your boat if you are not making to much of a racket. I wouldn't want one after me.

Re: Man killed by Beaver.
Beavers have a short half life on our hunting lease. So do racoons for that matter. It must be something in the water, or maybe those jump traps?

I wish I could see the darn things, I have gone looking for them at all times of the night with no luck. They have turned my lake and pond into a logging camp.

Social Security doesn't allow for such things. I wish I could afford night vision.

I find it amazing just how many people think that wild animals are like people.
