May 22, 20241 yr Anthropomorphic marketing has people confused that many wild animals won't end you. Moose "Teddy" bears and Bison. How many Yellowstone tourists have to be flipped into the air by bison for people to realize that they are not to be messed with.

There's a whole Instagram page of tourists getting fucked up by wild animals in Yellowstone.
May 22, 20241 yr We have a home in Colorado. Our area has many cats, bears and moose. Only see cats running away or the evidence of a deer/elk kill. Bears are pretty shy. They tend to amble off when encountered in the yard or on the trail. Moose are completely different. They are completely unpredictable and so large that any encounter can go bad.

Several decades ago I was at Yellowstone and I watched some moron rip up some long grass into a kind of bouquet and then walk up to an elk with the grass as if he was going to feed it. The elk lowered his head and started stamping his hooves, and I thought the guy was dead. I screamed.”STOP! That elk will kill you!!!”. As the guy turned to look at me and dropped eye contact with the elk, the elk suddenly turned and trotted away. The guy’s wife yelled at me for “ruining the picture.”

I worked after college at an exotic game ranch for a summer. They had dozens of species and reinforced pipe fences and electric wire for the larger animals. Under the fence there was a gap about two feet off the ground. I found out why. Guy was working in the elk pen and got charged. Elk rolled him along the ground with his antlers. Guy escaped under the fence but had to be airlifted to the hospital. He was busted up pretty bad. In the wild, he'd have been in trouble. If you've ever hunted elk, many of the bulls have serious injuries from sparring sessions with the boys. Broken antlers under the skin, large scars, often serious infections and open wounds. They're a horse we swords on their heads that like to fight.

June 2, 20241 yr Author Popular Post June 1. The official beginning of tourist season. The shoulder season crowd, seasonal workers and early birders looking for cheaper travel deals, have been here for a month. The RV’s are starting to roll in so here’s a game we play to soothe the local rage when getting behind one of them meandering at 30 mph down the highway or stopping in the middle of the road to gawk at a scraggly molting cow moose munching on leaves on the side of the highway… Put Anal in front of whatever their trailer, fifth wheel, or drivable behemoth is named. My favorite so far this year…Anal Rustler.

June 15, 20241 yr 23 minutes ago, tbone_ said: Have you had to fight any of them? Quote He had no time to use his bear spray before falling to the ground with fingers laced behind his neck and one finger holding the spray canister. The bear bit him several times before biting into the can of pepper spray, which burst and drove the bears away The man got to an area with cell phone coverage and called for help. A helicopter, then an ambulance evacuated him to a nearby hospital. Investigators suspect from the man's description that the smaller bear he saw was an older cub belonging to the female grizzly that attacked. Mother bears aggressively defend their offspring and remain with them for two to three years after birth. Park officials didn't release the victim's name. He was expected to make a full recovery. I’m not sure if this is outdated info, but when I was in scouting and going to Bear country, the belief was that you could play dead with a black bear who suddenly attacked you, but playing dead with a grizzly would only give more time to bite you and eat you. The only exception is when a black bear was slowly approaching you, because that was not protecting cubs or frightened - but pure predatory behavior to decrease the distance between you before the attack. Ya’ll know the joke about IDing grizzly scat because it contains bells and smells like bear spray. I think that is still true - and this guy lucked out with the can explosion.
June 15, 20241 yr My understanding is you fight the blacks and cover your head and play dead with the browns/grizz. But this reminds me of a time a few years ago sitting with a few friends at a bar in Dallas, swapping hunting/fishing tales. One friend mentioned “fighting the blacks “ just as our server came over. All of the sudden all of our eyes met and we quickly sputtered “We’re talking about bears!!”

I haven't heard all the details of the second one, but the first one was an old lab that just laid down when the moose came near (was a really sweet dog) and it stomped her to death.
July 1, 20241 yr Author Popular Post Wildfire about a mile from the entrance to Denali NP, right across the Nenana River from the tourist area. Apparently the tourists are freaking out on facebook. Sent to me yesterday, smoke jumpers landing and the fire which is right around Horseshoe Lake
