Title: Another....What the heck is this?
Post by: jrebel on May 30, 2022, 03:52:16 PM: What do you think. I will post the three photos as they were taken....then I will zoom in on one of them.

There is a small creek about 100 feet behind this thing and clearly a turkey in front of it.

Those are the only three pics. Not sure it had much of a tail. The creek is running right now, but goes underground as the temps go up.....It is a very small creek.

I'm thinking mountain beaver after looking up pics on the web. It does appear to be a good size mountain beaver. Hope to see it in person one of these days.

Post by: h20hunter on May 30, 2022, 06:20:04 PM: This is clearly a wet mtn beaver 🦫 that has been well fed under the dumb yet steely eyed watch of his friend the turkey. It is no suprise to someone as astute as I. See I pay attention. Not just the other day we had a clear example of coon/hog partnership against the band of opossums. Open your eyes people.
