The use of herbicides in Alaska pretty much requires a permission slip from God. No Moose on the west side. This is just what I hear. Horseman actually put boots on there horses riding on timber ground. The state of course says it’s something else. https://wdfw.wa.gov/species-habitats/diseases/elk-hoof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catmandoo Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Nice Xmas present. A little human kindness goes a long way. What is the structure in the background? The reflectance and attenuation of the IR flash by the moose is interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he got skunked this year. Bucks were nocturnal. And I didn’t hunt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an image to show you why you should not drive like a crash test dummy in 'moose' territory. Compare the body mass of the deer with the moose. Moose is a lot higher. Hitting a moose with a sedan or truck can be fatal to the vehicle occupants. A frontal crash can launch the moose over the hood and into the passenger cabin. Injury / death by blunt force trauma. Give Bullwinkle a break, drive slow. Still looking for Rocky to fly through one of these trail cam pics. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bipedalist Posted January 2 BFF Patron Share Posted January 2 (edited) Wish we had a few passing thru our neighborhood, might slow people down. Bears and white tails are not big enough to do it. I've rolled a whitetail at 15 mph and the force of impact still broke out headlight mount and smeared bumper paint despite heavy braking and moving to another lane on a country backroad with no traffic. i knew it was a crossing zone near some old dove fields so i was hyperalert even to the possibility. Blame thing just kept coming despite my efforts to steer away. Watching a cornfed whitetail roll three times in your headlight viewshed and get up and walk away is a surreal nightime experience. A co-worker in the same location was not so lucky and totalled a Jeep Cherokee. Edited January 2 by bipedalist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re; Rocky, do you have flying squirrels out in that area, I have seen a few glide and hit trees and wind around them on impact to avoid owls off my back elevated lighted porch.

Bird feeders with sunflower seeds and a motion sensing porch light or cam can catch them at night. Our cat killed one a number of years ago in the springtime, and a relative nearby had his porch light going on and off one night. He watch through the window and caught a northern flying squirrel coming and going, trying to get a meal without that obnoxious light disturbing him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, when I had a cat and developed a collection of flying squirrel tails as presents, I decided I didn't need a cat anymore, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. Huntster has had several over th years here. That one was a stray that showed up one day crying at the door in sub-zero temps and decided to stick around. She must have been living feral for a time, because she was an incredible huntress. All the other cats we've had didn't kill like she did. I wish I had a cat that would kill off the red squirrels or catch me a sasquatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
