Over my lifetime, I have been thwarted, taunted and otherwise outwitted by an astounding array of animals, both wild and domestic. Squirrels and I? We don’t see eye to eye. Deer? They always outsmart me. I’ve also been occasionally taunted by massive moose who only show up when I don’t have a camera handy, or when I don’t have a moose permit, or when I do have a moose permit, but the opening day of moose season is a couple days later. Beavers are fine and noble beasts. Until, that is, they end up in your own backyard. Then, they morph into buck-toothed menaces. ~ John Holyoke
