RE: BEAVER, sink or float
Ranger i have had similar experiences quite often actually. They will come at you especially if they are wounded or cornered. You may not think it but them buggers can move when they want to. I caught one a few years back by the leg in a connibear don't ask me how. I had no rifle along so i had to bonkem. Took me a good 10 minutes to brave myself to do it because as soon as i would get close he would lunge and just bout nip me. A fella here got bit some years back and took a large chunk out of his leg just below his manhood, lucky guy.
