so i'm standing belly in the river fishing this afternoon - minding my own business and dodging canoe/kayak's - and then i notice trouble headed my way.

like any good smartphone carrying citizen, i felt duty bound to get the encounter on camera!

i have to admit, witnessing something like this up close when you're standing belly deep in a river is enough to make your starfish pucker a lil bit. :shock:

Hoo Boy, lucky they were distracted those guys can be vicious if they get fixed on you

. Not sure you can even bring one of those down with a full mag from your 450Bm.

Actually, you had good reason to be a bit concerned...swans are very friendly until they reach breeding age, and then if you get one step too close, they will wear your a** out! :shock:

oh i know... i've been chased by them in a fishing boat before. i was at least expecting a hiss. as you can hear by the video.. the only noise was the babies going "peep peep peep"
