You have your opinion and I have mine and that makes the world go round.:D As usual I may come across a little too strong sometimes, sorry if I did. Maybe if I had a moose or two my blood pressure would stay down.:DQuote:

Moose will regulate population based on winter food.
Meanwhile America flirts with Sharia Law.Quote:

Thanks for the link Sam, hadnt read that one.....
Ever heard of the Guardian Angels?
Excellent info, hopeak! Any idea how the chances for survival are? We thought it was quite a sight but guessed that two would most likely get eaten by bears or wolves. Most moose here seem to calve twins, of which one always seems to die within the first few weeks. At least, we often see moose with 2 calves when they're still tiny, and later on, they always just have one calf with them.Quote:

Bears will often kill the calf as it is being born, when the cow is defenseless.
One or three Grizzlies can kill hundreds caribou calves per day, The Caribou cows will go up in the soft snow to calf, there can be 3,000 to 10,000 cows birthing in one large bowl over a 5 day period. It is gross to watch.
Pretty gross thinking about it, too.
So the winter range of cows is crucial to the overall numbers of moose, then. Will be interesting to see what we have in terms of calves here this summer - only had one cold snap all winter and normal snow cover, but for some reason there were hardly any moose at their usual wintering grounds.
Also, something must have happened last summer because around here not many moose calves seemed to have survived at all; mostly saw single cows throughout fall and winter.
One of my yard cows had no calves this spring. Last year she birthed two, but a Brown Bear got them both. I know it was a brown bear as I found their feet, well seven of eight feet, and the bears tracks. They near killed her as she had two massive (18" X24") flaps of skin torn high on right shoulder and another on the opposite hind quarter. She made it, saw Her yesterday.
Survival can be cruel.
Offering a job with your corporation. That can only be legitimately done by someone who is themselves productive. That I respect. We may not agree on some socio-econ topics but here we do. I wish you the best in your business endeavors.Quote:
I was also mentioning to email me as I might have a job for anyone that could be qualified enough to work for my corporation. (incase they lose their job,home,wife ect.)
wow, what a cool thread. Bragg, I hope you're wearing hipwaders, partner, cuz you buried yourself in it this time.
I think America's probably going to hang in there for awhile, and if I really want third world living conditions, I'll go live on a reservation in Canada.
Wildwoman, here's something interesting about Quebec that most people don't realize. Quebec was the first to raise volunteer armies in defense of Canada the three times in our history that we needed it. Quebec's anti-federal sentiments really came to the forefront during WW2 when they were the only part of Canada to consistently vote against conscription, then it just blossomed from there. (I'm not here to defend Quebec's nationalist sentiments, it's just information that most Canadians don't have)
I actually agree with most of what you said about the hockey and Timbits, but I am totally opposed to our current gun laws.
Whats a Timbit?
Sorry honey, national secret :D actually it's the donut center of Tim Horton's donuts. Not nearly as important as Tim Horton's coffee (national shrine!!) but still considered essential Canadian food source.Quote:

yep. but when you think about the actual hole in the donut, what happens to it after the donut is eaten?Quote:

Actually I think you helped me solve a riddle here, hopeak. 2006/07 we had record snowfalls, plus early and mid-winter extreme cold snaps. Which might have resulted in the cows giving birth to fewer calves than normal, so that in turn fewer calves survived because there were less for the predators to eat. Well at least it's a theory...
Anyway, what with the boyfriend gone for a few weeks, I think I'll cut my communication ties a bit and have myself some hermit time here in the woods, communing more with plants and animals than you cyber folks.
Good luck to "your" moose cow, hopeak...
My youngest son,when he was six,explained it to me this way,if your mouth is big enough to put the whole doughnut in,then the hole gets eaten,if your mouth is not big enough,then the hole gets away. I just let it go at that,LOL

Don't let the fact that I was a Professional Big Game Hunting Guide for 34 Years intimidate your willingness to put some real money where your mouth is........:)
I'm still waiting for an apology or an amount of money you want to bet that I am, what did you say, "where did I come up with that baloney......?"
More like goody-goody Boy Scouts types vs. Anti-White, Anti-American, Anti-Christian, Anti-Capitalism Islamic extremist.Quote:
