I found this after a little web surfing:
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/18/n...5600&en=cf502962b289c291&ei=5087 &oref=slogin
it states that: the beaver — the official animal of New York State
Who knew!

The article refers to the Beaver and the fact they took a white oak...I have never known of a Beaver to knaw on a hardwood, and white oak is a hardwood...
It is the National symbol of Canada and two US states, namely Oregon and New York have adopted it as the state symbol.

From Andy’s NY Times article:
Then again, there are no reports of actual sightings of beavers, which tend to work at night and avoid people.
“It’s possible it could be a hoax,” Mr. Penny said, “but I really doubt someone would go through the trouble. It’s just too difficult.”
I do agree that this is the work of our furry friends which their pelts have been traded long ago and still make woman coats.
But who is taking all the time and effort to cut those strange shapes in farmer’s fields?
Aliens from a far away planet? Could they have come to us and are hungry for East Hampton trees ? I need to ponder this further over my Sunday morning coffee.
A true fun fact: The leading cause of accidental death for a beaver is falling trees.

...I think you will see quite a few like that from now on....
....Times are changing....
We cant be ourselves, we must be like others want us...I am me and always will be...
I don't think the ladies of this forum would of put up such a stink if they truely did not feel uncomfortable about some of the posts. So with that in mind, I don't want to make them feel uncomfortable on this site.
Also, Les has spoke his peace on this and I do not want to be disrespectful to him.
Now if the Beavers Spotted On LI post was in the NBR Men Only Forum"
I would have you in tears, also I think I already covered this subject in another post. :}
Also, I am only human, so if there is to much bait in front of me I may falter and take a bite

Humm, Andy is going to making his own dinner for a long time.
From the article:
"In the late 1990s, a fatigued beaver was seen just off the Long Island Sound beach in Southold"

..A posting of this content is like putting a carrot in front of a mule...They both get jumpy..
