They have vast fenced preserves, simply in an attempt to save a few of their native species from them. Shoot the stoats. Then they'll be overun with rats and mice/rabbits etc etc etc. Mouse traps are pretty cheap. Just look what problems that eradicating all of the wolves caused in Yellowstone Park. All Americans will know about how that played out, I'm sure they will agree with me. They reintroduced the wolves and the eco system slowly returned to a normal balance again. I doubt Will can even comprehend Yellowstone park. The park itself and the national forests around it are about half the size of Scotland. I'd be happy to show him the thermal features. We only poached one tourist last year and the volcano gods would like another meal. http://www.businessinsider.com/yello...l-pool-2016-11 A nice, hot sulphuric acid bath is good for what ails you. Isn't that whole place about to blow up? Someday. Make your reservations now. I came through there last fall and things were percolating nicely. It's not the most stable place. There were a couple of paint pot areas that were more active when I was a kid but an earthquake in '59 reshuffled the deck. http://www.yellowstonepark.com/yello...quake-of-1959/ The grey rock at the end of the lake used to be on the mountainside to the south. What they don't mention in the article is the campsite that was buried under the debris. I camped a few miles upstream from the lake. Earthquakes don't strike in the same place twice, right? |

Humans harbor illnesses to which I am susceptible, and eating them increases my risk of contracting those illnesses. Would you eat a dog? Probably sooner than I'd eat a human, although carnivore meat wouldn't be my first choice. Would you eat a horse? Yes, although since their flesh is richer in myoglobin than that of beef, I'd rather have beef. Would you eat a cow? Absolutely, although I'd usually rather have pork or chicken. Once in a while I get a craving for beef and have some. What made you avoid the dog? I'm given to understand that carnivore meat is strongly flavored. I prefer very mildly flavored meat.

It is a glitch in the postal laws that allows them to pay the postal rate there (probably free) and we have to carry it the rest of the way free here.

I simply do not believe a deer is dangerous. Even though one wrote of the shed that you were driving? What a fool you really are. |

Most extreme sports are not cheating death, they are using technology for thrills. I suppose you have not looked at extreme skiers, sky divers and some of the crazy stuff people do on mountain bikes. I asked a guy who was doing an extreme motorcycle stunt exhibition what the learning process was. You can work your way up to wheelies, stoppies, and stuff like that. but there isn't such a thing as a front flip that almost worked: http://scribol.com/extreme-sports/10...stunts-ever/4/ Broken bones, he said, lots of broken bones. Having broken collar bones, ribs, and legs myself, I don't think I'd go out of my way to do so. Particularly the ribs. That's the gift that keeps on giving for months. My friend is a mountain biker.

[8~{} Uncle Dear Monster My worst deer encounter was in downtown DC on the whitehurst freeway (35 feet or so up). I came around the corner at about 50 and 2 were right in front of me. I dodged one and the other one jumped over the side. If I wasn't late, I would have looped around to K street below to see how it was. I just didn't have time to dress out a deer ;-) |

Dunno what point you guys are trying to make, but I'm seriously considering invading your country. The best scenery we have is in Bowman's area or farther south in the Four Corners area. The mountain ranges back east aren't nearly as spectacular. Way too many trees there. Ya know, some of us think trees are a good thing. They provide welcome shade, look great in the fall, and hide an awful lot of boring dirt. Yeah, but they aren't much for scenery. Bull****, trees are part of the scenery. If you can't see the scenery for the trees... |

I was VERY upset and called the police to ask them to deal with matters. About 20 years ago I was listening to the police frequencies on the scanner. The dispatcher said a woman had called in to report an injured deer and was requesting an officer. The lucky cop who caught the call replied "What's the matter? Doesn't she have a gun?" They finally made it legal a couple of years ago. You kill it, you take it home and grill it. You have to take the whole thing though.
