If a beaver does approach you, what's the best way to defend yourself?
Assuming you're not otherwise armed, I would say something long and tough to whack, bash, and push (or pin) with, such as a tree branch.
Kicking it? It’s not a mountain lion.
Shooting it with your pistol
Make like a tree and leaf?
toss a raw tree trunk to distract him, and run in the opposite direction.
