I understand the linguistics of thw discussion and that's not what I'm arguing.

you’re arguing that ranchers should have the right to shoot wolves if they are on the ranchers’ property, right?

i’m arguing that eradication, be it of one animal, one pack, or one population, should be the absolute last resort, and that there may very well be other means by which to address the perceived problem

what would you call it?

Did i ever say we should go out and hunt them? Trap them? Kill them all?

No. I said that ranchers should be allowed to kill problem wolves that are ON their property.

What proportion of ranching is on private land?

Versus operating on public land.

I believe about 20% of livestock are raised on public land.

i’ve only been able to find stats for 2015, and just for blm land, but those figures are closer to 50%

i’d imagine most of you don’t care too much for snakes, but the beauty of this variety is unquestionable

That’s sweet.

I swear I remember seeing a blue snake when I was a kid.

Seeing as this was in rural eastern KS, it no doubt must have been a blue variety of the white-lipped island pit viper, obviously...

That's pretty lax handling of said viper, no?
No gloves?

I was bitten by a copperhead in MIZZOU when i was a kid - or rather, my oversized work glove was.

not necessarily for an arboreal species like that

i’ve dealt with varieties that are closely related, and they’re actually quite docile...not at all similar in behavior to our North American pit-vipers

What is the point of this?


(And ftr i am not going all joe rogan and claiming antifa started all the wildfires on the west coast )

That’s a case of mental illness. Likely schizophrenia

The rangers with the bullhorn kinda ruins it at the end, except when he calls out the Texans LOL

^^^ for real motherfuckers that’s a fuckin grizzly taking down a fuckin bull elk.

And let’s not be shy. Bull elk this time of year are even hornier than ousdahl on the nsfw bored.

50 weeks a year they’re just skittish cautious giant deer, but the other two weeks - the next two weeks - they’re so hot and hormonal and in the rut that they will walk right up to anything at all that moves and, boldly, shamelessly, fuck it.

And let’s not be shy, straight up elk fuck fest, a harem and everything, like those Eastern European porno vids but with antlers too!

But, put your pants back on you loosers, this is the great outdoors thread. My point is, how fucking scary is that grizzly?!???!

Fuckin terrifying!

Like fuckin fuck!

Bears this time of year go into “hyperphagia,” which is a fancy word for compulsively eating everything in sight. They’re tacking on mass until they hibernate for the winter. Hibernation ultimately starts, more than any other function, once food runs out.

And how damn hungry must a griz be to chase down and drag out a bull elk in a river? Like 700+ pounds of protein all to yourself, or at least until the birds and coyotes show.

But my point point is, that shit is terrifying!

And the only thing more terrifying than a hungry griz charging you into a river, is a hungry griz charging you into a river cuz it’s clever enough to know it can drown you.

In addition to every element of claw and fang, and of brute force, and of predator instinct, that asshole is outsmarting you now too.




Anywho so who wants some crock pot?

i’ve seen European porno vids with antlers

i’d wager that bears are better swimmers than elk

Video unavailable.
Thanks oussie. For nuttin.

Just click through to watch it on YouTube.

The uploader set it so you can’t watch it embiided on another site, or whatever

Yeah, I imagine four massive paws make for better paddling than goofy little hooves
