Anyone ever seen a Beaver in Central or East TN?

I've seen several beavers now in and around Knoxville and in Central TN.

What kind of season we got one beaver ?

This might get as many post's as the bear thread.

I'm thinking the thread will be locked before then. It won't take long before this one goes into the gutter.

But, to answer the OP's question, Yes, I see then occasionally around Blount County.

I've seen hundreds of them.

Love to fish around the huts they make all over Cordell hull. Me and a buddy were flipping jigs around a hut a couple years ago. My buddies line jumped and he set the hook, into the side of a 40 lb beaver! When we figured out what he had he didn't want to cut the line, he wanted to land it. He said when I get it up to the boat (which took 30 minutes) you hit it over the head with the paddle.
He gets it up and I hit it with all I had, broke the paddle and the beaver appears dead. We lift it into the boat and he says get the camera, it's under the seat. He was holding it by the back legs while I was taking pics. All the sudden it starts moving and he lets go, it falls in bottom of boat. I'm climbing on top of the front seat and my buddy is sitting on top of the motor. The beaver finally got his bearings straight and went over the side of the boat and into the water.
We've had some funny things happen while fishing, can't wait for that awesome spring bite!
