Beaver Fishing

Fished lower Elk yesterday and the local beaver was swimming around
down along the wall. One of the guys hooked the beaver and it broke
his line, then he proceded to laugh and hoop about it. I was hoping
someone would take a little cleo and hook him in the side of the face.
People have no respect for anything and where is the common sense?
 
PS: I know where this thread is going to end up.....

Not cool
 
sounds like the same mentality as "they are just stupid fish"
there has been a recently prevailing opinion that since they are animals, no need to respect them

No offense, but if you seen him indeed do this, why would you not call the law enforcement ? I have never seen a warden tolerate someone abusing animals. I am a animal lover and I know personally I would not have tolerated this behavior. Did more than 1 other person see him do this ? This is indeed a time when you confront the person and get his information, weather it a license plate or a fishing license number. I know most people think that anymore you can not confront people when they are displaying rude behavior, but there is power in people. I was out at Clear lake last weekend and seen 3 idiots in a boat duck hunting. They would row over to a group of ducks in the water and all three of them would stand up and each pump 3 shots into the group. Needless to say I seen them take well over 15 ducks. So, I trolled right over to their boat and asked them if they were taking more than they should. Of course I was treated rudely by them. I told them to either leave immediately (I already had their boat registration number number), or I would call the authority's. One guy called my bluff  - so I borrowed my buddies cell phone and called the game commission right while I was beside their boat. Needless to say, they left in a hurry. I don't know if they got caught or not, but I let the warden know that they are pretty much out there every weekend. A lot of people complain that the wardens do not do their job, but if they don't know what's happening, how can they enforce it ? It's a shame to see crap like that happen to any animal.......

Joebaker, did you C&R that beaver???

  You wouldn't believe how much beaver I landed.  Who'd have thunk it? 

 
Hope you weren't usin crabs for bait.
 
PFBC and PGC would have had a field day with that guy, violations for both.........

Why didn't someone say something to that dude? Some people just don't get it.

Tried everything especially for the cudas we saw snorkeling on our beach. 

 
You should have taken pictures.  I bet not too many of us have seen barracudas snorkeling before.

I was on a charter in the Bahamas a few years ago and landed a barracuda.
That thing acted like it wanted to bite all of us on the boat.
The guide said that it was just gasping for air/water then thew it in the cooler.
At the end of the trip we asked where we could get it mounted.
He said: I don't know good luck monn.
Then we asked if they were good to eat.
His response was that there were too many small bones and poor taste.

Just after we got off the boat we saw him running down the dock with the fish.
I wonder if he ate for a week or sold it to someone to mount

I am a little familiar with some of the international beaver and have found some to be a little hairy.
Not sure what is worse the nature trail or the underarms.

Based on the thread title, i had to click on it!!

Save a tree , eat a beaver!

what PFBC violation?

I don't know if the guy did it on purpose or not, but get your
line out of the way.

I have eaten grilled barracuda in Fla. before and it was excellent!  I think you guys were had!

"If the man was trying to snag the beaver.....Posting this here did absolutely no good what so ever.  You ask "where is the common sense?" You dont have it either because you did nothing to stop it or prevent it from happening again. If you cared half as much as you leed us to believe you do you would have made a phone call while it was happening not complain on a computer days after the event occured."
 
**** Swinger, I agree with you. I better lay down, I'm starting to feel dizzy.
