OT: Hurricanes Lounge XLIV: The Previous Thread Has Been Cancelled

[Anton Dubinchuk]

You should look into it and do the economy analysis. 1 of my kids (who you know) is in a similar situation and he uses it without any issues.

Wait, he knows your son?

So this post and whole conversation is just one big HIPAA violation. Cool.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Yeah, I believe I worked with him during the Islanders series

The other one, who works the Canucks games.

Ah. Don't know him as well, simply because of the usual time zone difference between our two usual teams.

....well, @Blueline Bomber spilled the beans first, so he offered up his privacy issue

Edit: "That's a joke sone"....he said doing his best Foghorn Leghorn imitation.

Can't wait to get about 3 rows of trees removed from behind my house, took a walk around the property found 2 more trees down, one decided to destroy my target stands.

Seems like I have to cut up a tree once a month. If this pattern turns full drought, it will be worse.

I lose 1 or 2 a year. My long term goal is to cut down 2/3 of my trees, allowing the bigger healthy trees more room. My back 2 acres is all woods and in a flood zone always.

We took dow 7 or 8 trees in our back yard two years ago and it let in significantly more light so we can actually have a patch of grass in our back yard (well, okay, a mix of weeds and grass. We back up to a waterfowl impoundment, so there's a ton of trees and wildlife another 5 to 10 yards from the back of our property line. Crazy amount of wildlife too....hawks (too many to count), owls, foxes, occasional deer, snakes, lizards, and turtles....every type of turtle you can imagine. They actually come up into our yard to lay their eggs.....crazy.

We get all of the wildlife too, I live very close to a state park, and the property I touch behind me is a 100+ acre dairy farm. Yotes are heard every evening, deer prints are always seen, our property line is a flowing creek (we are on well water too), so we have it all too.

Big cats are terrifying. Moose ain’t nothin to trifle with either though.

Big cats are terrifying. Moose ain’t nothin to trifle with either though.

So the bear is the least terrifying.

But seriously, the mountain lions are what scares her the most. Seeing them is relatively new to where she lives and the first time she hoped they were just passing through, but she's seen them multiple times now.

I would go:
Mountain Lion
Moose
Bear

Typically black bears will avoid people as a food source, momma bear will attack to protect cubs

Mountain Lions don't typically hunt humans either, unless population encroachment has limited their deer and other sources. But territorial natured.

Moose, they will charge a car, they can be very dangerous, would not pet, just people who try to pet bison....

They’re the worst in that grouping. If you see a mountain lion out on your outdoor adventures there’s a good chance it’s seeing you as potential dinner, because they don’t let you see them very often.

A moose once bit my sister.

A moose once bit my sister.

I’ve walked up onto two moose on trails hours into hikes while passing through woods well outside of cell range or other people, like within 20 ft of them before they huffed or made noise so I knew they were there. The first time it backed off, the other time it crossed the trail in front of me and trotted down a steep incline that was full of boulders, sharp smaller rocks and bushes. I just froze while it ran past me. By the time I got forward enough to look down the slope it was long gone and beyond what I could see.

It would take me twenty minutes to scramble down what it did in like five seconds. You wouldn’t think they’re agile and fast, and you’d be wrong.

You’re in Maine, right? That’s like saying two cousins married in Alabama. It’s bound to happen.

I once came up on a moose in a park in Maine, i could have walked under it almost with how tall it was. The person we was with was like, slowly back away.

Mosquitos, Humans and Domestic Dogs kill way more people than any of the animals were discussing here.

Mind you, moose bites can be pretty nasty.

definitely don't let it bite your wiener

Or sacks.

It had huge molars, like Horst Nordfink.

The closest I've been to a moose was when I missed one by half a meter on the highway. Looked like the size of a dinosaur.

Land mgmt is a full time job between the weeds , trees and road maint. We have a small farm surrounded by much bigger farms. Our pond attracts all kinds of animals from the very occasional eagle to a momma bear raiding our dumpster from time to time.
